Please log in for more thread options I'm suffering from this problem using Vista Home Premium and an HDTV Wonder,
trying to import from a VCR composite feed to the Dongle adaptor. When you
select the Satellite or Cable option for setup instead of Antenna, setup
REQUIRES an IR blaster to change channels. Setup fails if you don't the
blaster. Any way around having a IR Blaster?
Thanks
