I have no idea but I'm very curious to know as I would like to add it to the MCEGuide User's Guide.

If there is anyone out there using the 1110 decoder on Media Center, please post instructions on setting it up here.

Thanx!

So I set up the system yesterday and have a Hauppage WinTV 500 MCE dual tuner card configured with the Multichoice 1100 Decoder. All is great and have the guide working great and a microsoft mce remote to change channels.

 My only question is how the dual tuners work. Surely I don't need two decoders? Anyone set up a similar system?

Hi Sam

Unless you've got a dualview decoder, you will need to have two decoders if you want to be able to use both tuners.

Can you please tell me how did you setup the 1110 decoder to work with MCE?

Can anyone tell me how to set up the 1110 decoder to work with Windows Media Center?

Also, is the Dual View decoder still available on the market?

 Hi Franco,

 I just installed a 1110 decoder onto VISTA media centre after my old DSD910 died.

I comply connected the decoder to my  PVR-150 capture card and stuck the Microsoft IR blasters in the center of the face plate using clear double sided tape.

I then ran through the setup wizard and ended up having to teach media center the IR codes as the settings it detected didn't work for changing channels.

 If you have any specific question let me know.

 I spoke too soon, channel changing was not 100% relaible.

 I changed the remote type on the decoder to "new only". And then changed the STB key in the registry as follows.

Digits 3
Keyduration = 200
KeyInterval = 100

Everything is working very nicely now.

Some help please - I have a 1110 decoder and a WinTV-PVR-150 card that I am trying to configure in Windows Vista Media Center.

I had a similar problem, but was a simple error on my part. I use the Microsoft MCE remote. The IR device has 2 cords with infrared transmitters on the end. These transmitters need to lie in front of the infrared receiver on the decoder (look inside the red plastic glass section on the decoder and you will se and infrared receiver) so that the remote transmits the instruction to the IR receiver and the receiver transmits the message to the decoders infrared receiver. If the cables and infrared transmitters are not lining up with the decoder's receiver it cannot send the instruction and change the message.

hope that helps

Thanks but I tried this.

I actually used prestik to stick the IR receivers to the Multichoice decodr so that they line up 

Hi Guys New to the forum. I have a mecer media center with 1110 Decoder. Cant get the remote to change channels.

It has built in infared sensor. Media center learns the remote codes but than does nothing. Please help!
