Lately I have been experiencing a problem with the IR blaster that came with my Hauppauge HD-PVR. It has disappeared during timer recordings. A window that says "IR Blaster not found" goes up and when I start BlastCfg, it says no IR hardware found. This happened several times today, which resulted in the loss of a few recordings. A restart of the HD-PVR brings it back up and I have to set up the IR blaster all over again.

Another thing is, a week ago today, my 7-year old HP computer I had been using for caps died on me. I have another computer that my Dad left for dead that runs Windows 7 that he bought in 2011. He was never satisfied with it and in 2012 he bought an HP at Best Buy and gave me his old one.
