I just got a new MX-880 and RF basestation. I have been trying to get it to work with just IR codes to start with, however. It controls my late-model Samsung LCD TV fine, but I can't get it to work with Windows Media Center.

I use an IR310, common in Origenae HTPC cases, which has a Philips remote chip.  It uses IMON manager software by Soundgraph to interface the USB IR310 to Windows 7, and can power the PC on and off by virtue of a connection to the case switch.  I should emphasize this has worked for years with a Windows Media Center remote RC197.

I have tried using Windows Media Center ID#8 from the database, as well as Windows Media Center RC and Windows Vista.  Neither seem to work.  I have also tried learning the WMC remote, but the hard buttons show red with text "PT" in the CCP software interface and don't work.

Surely I am not the only Universal Remote Customer running WMC7.  What do I need to do to get this working?

thanks,
