    Hello,
    Thanks for your suggestions.
    I already remapped the Green Button by modifying the corresponding registry key, now it shows the Welcome Screen, I can then select the WMC shortcut.
    I also remapped some unused buttons to control programs by modfying the same registry key.
    But for the OK button, it's a different story, and as T-S said, the best way to make it show the miniguide is to patch WMC or use EventGhost.
    I have already set up EventGhost to do the job, but it's not as convenient as if WMC was patched.
    I wonder if there is someone on earth who find it useful to switch to the previous channel by pressing the OK button, all the set-top boxes use the OK button to show the channel list.

    I did right click and run as admin. I just tried running from a elevated command prompt and am getting 'bin\NSudoC.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
    Now, either I am missing an extra command to type in, but it seems to run a file all I would need to do is type <c:\wmc64\_testrights.cmd> right? Please say I am just missing some little dumb thing. I tried the same line on the installer and uninstaller with the same response.

    Mike- could you provide the steps you did to get the Xbox 360 extender to work?
    Are you referring to post #3950 and post #? ( GarretNorth´s)?

    If yes, I might need help to understand what all the abbrevations mean/stands for...

    Yes, working off of post #4234 and referencing #3978, and #4723 for the Ceton stuff.

    I'm still waiting for you to read Post 5175, which deals directly with the Display Adapter error.

    Maybe you should go back a few pages and review all the suggestions you have been given. Editing is allowed here, sometimes things are added, after you review the original post.

    On both the you tubes, watch the scrolling text at the bottom. To me, Video 1 hard to miss. Video 2 still shows the problem a bit. There is a less pronounced stall in video 2 about once/second.

    EDIT
    The 3rd video isn't right either. Scrolling right to left text is chugging, same as the other 2...might even be worse.

    For those testing the insider builds, what tuners work with v12? Are any of the cablecard tuners working?

    Sorry, don't know about Echo. InfiniTV 4 works great though, DRM and all.

    Can you also confirm you extracted the full zip contents to that wmc64 folder? it seems like the \bin\ subfolder isn't there for it to run that command. Also, you show x64 are you on a 64bit OS?

    I decided to go with Schedules Direct instead since I'm having issues downloading the TV setup data.

    Now running into an issue with Digital Cable Advisor - it keeps saying that the app is invalid and refuses to install. Anyone know how to fix the issue?

    I'll take a Wild Guess that you are looking for the WMC software since this is your first post. Next time click on the Reply With Quote so we know what you are talking about.

    If you are looking for the latest version of WMC click on the v12 in my signature. Read the Readme, especially the PREPARATION section. Also the Workaround. And when you follow the v12 link read the first 30-40 pages for others experience installing v12

    Lets stop the guessing games.

    What is the Model # of the remote?

    What is the Model # of the set-top box the remote was intended to be used for?

    Personally, I think you need a new remote. A remote with choice of devices.

    The button for device A would control WMC.

    The button for device B would control the set-top-box(s)
