Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Pinnacle Remote Kit for Windows Media Center On Vista
Customer Review: GREAT.... Works 100% on COMCAST DTA Cable Box
Summary: 5 Stars
I had installed this unit and works very well with Comcast DTA Cable Box (Small Black Box).
1.) Install IR Remote Receiver and plug in Port 1 back to see left side jack.
2.) Grab the Comcast Remote control to learn to train the Media Center.
3.) Change setting to Set-Box Converter and follow instructions. Make sure DTA Converter box set channel 4... BEST WAY.
Make Sure timing Changing channel to set "SLOW" and May work Medium. But Suggest set to Slow..
Make sure IR Blaster Cable with IR unit (Un-peel the sticker) Place away from green LED few 1/4 inch. Press firmly. DO NOT PRESS hard.... CAN DAMAGE the front lens.
Make sure the Channel 2 is match from MCE Remote control program as Channel 2..
See Referring at Microsoft website how to program remote control and as well Pinnacle System website as well for more support help. I tested on Windows Vista Ultimate. Also will work Windows 7 Ultimate!
Take extra time program and can be little bit tricky.. NOTE: COMCAST can NOT help you on how programing the DTA to MEDIA CENTER!! THEY HAVE NO EXPERIENCED HOW IT WORKS !!!
ENJOY!
Customer Review: Works Great With Vista 64
Summary: 5 Stars
I upgraded my Media PC to an HP PC with Vista 64. But my Streamzap remote no longer worked, as Streamzap doesn't yet have 64 bit Vista drivers. The documentation for this Pinnacle remote doesn't specify that it works with Vista 64 (or at least I couldn't find it), but based on an earlier review here on Amazon that indicated that it worked on Vista 64, I went ahead and bought it.
In a nutshell, it works great. I plugged the receiver into the PC, Vista recognized it, and it controls all of the functions of Windows Media Center. The controls on the remote are logical and well laid out. I'm very pleased with it.
Customer Review: TV Remote for your Computer
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this as much as my regular TV remote. I have a dual-tuner in my computer to record two shows concurrently. This remote allows me to control Windows Media Center from the comfort of the sofa - no mouse needed. It makes the whole experience much more enjoyable. Windows Media Center lists two weeks of programs for my cable carrier and I can set recording, play, delete, fast-forward and do anything you would expect of any DVR or VCR. My system has Vista Home Premium Edition.Customer Review: Plug and Play
Summary: 5 Stars
This a really handy Remote Kit for Windows Media Center, I installed it and use it with Vista 64bit ... plugged it all in .. it was recognised by the media center setup. Everything works well, some very handy buttons, giving you direct jumps to "My Music" "My Pictures" "My Video" "Recorded TV" "DVD Menu" "Live TV" and "Guide" ... I'm using it with Comcast Digital, and it works well with that (altho I cant seem to use the pay per view services).Customer Review: Works Perfectly with XP MCE 2005.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this Media Center Remote unsure if it would work with XP Media Center. It was not plug and play on XP but after a quick search on google for drivers it worked perfectly. Spent no more than 60 seconds looking for the XP Drivers (No drivers disc is included in the package). Perfect remote for the price. Will be purchasing another for a different computer.
