Has anyone used this to control Windows Media Center or J River Media Center?

I have not, but there are codes listed under the AUX category for media pc controls. Codes are for Dell, gateway, Hauppauge, go, Sony, toshiba, and songbook.

This only works for a computer with Windows media center and some other software which would have some limitations. It would be in place of a TIVO or cable box.

I have used it for most functions, however some functions (like controlling my cable box) I have not been able to do. The answer to that problem may be in the setup menu.

I installed this WinTV-HVR-2250 last night on Win 8 Pro 64 bit. There is a download on the support web page for this card at Hauppauge.com that addresses an issue with Media Center. The setup in Media Center goes fine until it scans for channels and reports fewer than expected or none found. Media Center did not report finding the analog cable channels in my case. The support document instructs you to ignore that and go into the Guide configuration in Media Center to add the channels. I did this and it worked. The high definition channels look fantastic.

This unit did not work well for me. I was using as a desktop unit, and did not attempt to use it.I eneded getting a Polycom CX100 which works with LYNC and works really well for me.

Windows 8 does not have Windows Media Center, which is the app you need for any tv tuner. I had purchased a new computer with Win8 and I sent it back and fixed my old one with Win7 so I could continue to use my tuner.

I use a gamers PC to power Windows Media Center as my DVR. Since the processor lies on it's side and the air intake is then pointing up I just plugged in the USB Cable and simply laid them over the air intake. They did solve my problem of the Ceton 4 tuner card running a little hot.

Yes. I don't have the full list of key commands in front of me but there is a pretty robust set of hotkeys that can switch the K/M, video, audio or all at the same time. See my review for details.

Buy any of the XBox Media Center remotes and they work great with the Ceton right out of the plastic. PC Media Center remotes with the USB dongle don't work with this. I have three of these and they work great Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote

No. To use a remote with Windows Media Center, MythTV, or whatever you'd also need an IR receiver. I've seen that combo on Amazon for $15.

I have not. Only windows 7 64bit. Since my tv provider updated to digital I have not been able to get any channels using this device (as of 11 months ago) and it has been put in a box and forgotten

I am running Windows Media Center on a Windows 7 Professional machine. All of the Ceton drivers were downloaded from the Ceton website and installed. MCE sees ALL of the tuners and I have recorded 6 shows at the same time. Pretty awesome out of one card.

I have 2 of these. One is loaded with Windows 7 Pro and the other is loaded with OPENELEC to run a clean XBMC. Both work great, no issues.

Windows Media Center on my HTPC doesn't respond to it so I'm going to say probably not.

Works great on both versions, I have 3 of those throughout my house all using as media servers

I am using it in a mixed Mac/Windows home network. It's been a long time since i set it up, but as I recall, I got it to connect without resorting to running the Windows program.I did run the program on a Windows box later just to see what it did, but don't believe I needed it for initial setup.
