Well,
Ideally, there is "girder-like" code (not sure if they've liscensed it from Girder or just developed their own) built into the BTV Wizard to allow you to setup your USB-UIRT unit. Unfortunately, this "code" crashes every single time for me right now on 3.4 (1271 build). Not sure if you had a tuner that it would control by default without having to retrain the program (most of the low end DirecTV tuners are predefined), but mine is a Samsung SIR-TS160 HDTV DirecTV tuner, and it isn't already defined, so I have to have the wizard try to train the USB-UIRT for me..well, it asks you to press a bunch of buttons from your TUNER's remote for it to learn the channel buttons. About half way through the Wizard just locks for a couple seconds and then "BLIP"...it just disappears. No error message or anything (have done it well over 10 times now...including after now having completely reinstalled Windows XP Home CLEAN from scratch for the second time!!!).
Opened a support case for this, but the first thing BTV support did was try to blame the USB-UIRT dll drivers (forget that it is BTV's wizard that is crashing and Girder works just fine).
