MCE Remote and DSTV codes

[vinodh]

My system consists of :

3000+ x64 cpu

asus M/B

2 x 512mb ram

Hauppauge 150 mce

Microsoft remote

MS Media Center 2005

I have the Multichoice DSTV satellite decoder set top box. i tried to get the MS remote to 'learn' the codes of the DSTV remote to allow the use of 1 remote to control the PC and the set top box. unfortunately, when i press '5' on th MS remote, the decoder [set top box] changes either to 55 or back to the channel that was selected previously. if i press '31' the numbers 3 and the 1 appear on the decoder and then changes to 111 or some other useless number. i tried 're-doing' the learning many times, setting the channel change speed to 'slow' etc. no improvement. Any ideas would be appreciated
