HTPC Log 04 – EPG Done, Update on IR
Finally got around to finish setting up TVxb with BladeRunner Pro to get EPG data. Seems to work fine, but I will have to continue monitoring it to make sure it automatically stays up to date (depends on whether or not the scheduled task was created with the correct settings). Also, missing some channels – namely the free-to-air ones like channel 5 (including 5HD). Problem is the Starhub portal doesn’t provide guide info for that, so will probably have to try getting from elsewhere.
On the channel changing side, site visitor Paul came across some useful information. This did help get past the remote learning phase, but instead the results were worse – media center was unable to change the channels at all. The IR blaster seems to be sending signals, but the STB is not responding.
