Thanks, Ray! Since I have a set top box, with my current setup, I MUST use the blaster cable which I currently have working along with Microsoft receiver. I am only interested in the display at this point. Will I be able to disable the IR receiver part of GX Typhoon and keep using my Microsoft recei...

1. I already have a blaster cable with a small round jack on one infrared transmitter on another end. Could you tell me about the unit that you currently offer - does it come with the IR Transmitter addon board and the "PCI" bracket? If not, is it available separately? Will I be able to di...

Very interesting! MCE 2005 shell is my favourite environment and nothing can beat it so far. Can you publish your application for a test drive? Does it have a name? Is it a graphical application, or text only? Will I be able to show the temperatures, RSS, etc as well? Is it as flexible as LCDStudio?...

No MCE and IR Plugin??

I can't see the IR blaster connector on the attached pictures. Isn't it a small round female phone jack? The IR Blaster is an addon card that will attach to the back of the display and then to a PCI slot. So the IR Blaster cable is plugged into a PCI card and there is also a cable running from the ...

The product is going to ship next week, so MO could publish the user manual in PDF format. This will give potential buyers a chance to find out more about the product.

All the software linked is only for alphanumeric LCD's. The authors of the software will need to make a graphic capable version. Will you make the appropriate information available for the programmers (unlike Soundgraph)? As I know the programmers will need API to directly access the display from p...

Re: Software Link You Will Need

Driver Core: The engine that makes everything go, so no Drivercore, no LCD, no information on the GX Typhoon Does this mean Typhoon will not be able to work with LCD Smartie ( http://lcdsmartie.sourceforge.net ), Axcis Dashboard ( http://www.axcis.com.au ), Media Center Magic FrontView ( http://www...

And what about IR blaster cable output?

Another question: will I be able to disable the Typhoon IR sensor and use the original Microsoft USB sensor with TWO blaster outputs?
