I also forgot to mention that before I disabled windows MC in theater view... when I would press the top buttons, it would launch windows mc with the respected choice... so I know the remote is working fine... its just confused with MC16 on Win 7

I also have a similar problem to many here. The Ir-Reciver picks up signals from the remote that comes with it fine. But when trying to learn blaster commands, it just sits on "press button many times", no matter how many times i press it. And it doesn't learn the command from my TV or receiver remote. The Ir-receiver blinks red when i press the button, so it seems like it picks up the signal fine. Any tips? Any programs that could interfere or similar?

A couple things to try. First, are you using English as the language in Media Center? If not, try switching to English and see if the problem is fixed. If so, we have a bug in the translation.
If that's not the issue, go to Tools / Options / Theater View and click the "Reset!..." button. Beware that this gets rid of any customization you may have done to Theater View views. There was a bug that was fixed a couple months back which got these buttons working again in MC16, but if your Theater View setup is older than that, you may need the Reset to get those buttons to work.

Do you have a plasma TV? If so, that puts out a lot of IR interference which may cause the learning process to fail. Try moving the IR receiver back so it's slightly behind the TV screen (or off to the right or left and behind the plane of the screen). Direct sunlight can also interfere. Are you doing quick short taps on the buttons when doing the learning? Holding down the button can cause multiple codes to be sent and may cause learning problems, just do quick taps. What kind of remote are you learning? Make sure it has fresh batteries and that it is within a few inches of the receiver and pointed directly at it. Also, try unplugging the receiver and plugging it back in to reset it.

The receiver is actually by my computer at the moment (I am trying to use it to control volume of my amp from the computer). I have it behind the screen, I tried detaching and attaching the usb, i am straight ahead of it, only a few inches away. I also tried short taps (i also tried with an ok button, instead of volume, as the volume buttons function changes rapidly the longer you hold it in). Still no luck, I even have to receivers at two computers, but neither of them work now. I am pretty sure the first one worked a while ago (i just learned one command to test), is it a possibility that the problem has been introduced in an update? I tried both with the remote to my denon receiver, and also my sharp TV.
