    changing channels in vista media center

    I've learned my remote from my samsung dcb 9401r digital cable receiver.

    It works in pctv to go player but NOT in vista's media center.

    What can I do or buy to make media center switch channels on my samsung dcb 9401r to? So I can record programmed shows..

    Thanks in advance!

    It arrived today in the mail and was set up in 10 minutes. Works like it should. Now I can see TV in windows media center again. Thank God it was still recording my TV shows without the remote. I had the TV shows set up to record with Hauppage PVR-150 and never removed that setting. Windows Media Center does not care where the signal comes from so when I installed the PCTV To Go HD and removed the PVR-150 it automatically went to the PCTV to Go to record.

    Here is the kicker about this:

    Before I got the remote from Pinnacle I still had my Media Center set up to record my shows using Hauppage PVR-150 in Vista Media Center.

    Well I removed the TV cable going to the Hauppage and just installed PCTV To Go Wireless all the way up and to "Can not locate IR Transmitter/Receiver".

    Well It still recorded channel 72 like it was suppose to Friday Night at 9pm.

    I guess Media Center did not care where it got the TV signal from.

    I never checked out this setup any further because I finally got my Pinnacle Remote.
