Customise the Pinnacle 3010iX remote for MediaPortal

After a lot of searching around I found a couple of guides on how to use the Pinnacle 3010iX remote with something other than the useless TVC software that comes with it. You can customise this .ini file yourself to work with any software you like, but this gives you a starting point.

1. Firstly you have to install the Pinnacle TVCentre software.(get the latest version from the Pinnacle support site)
2. Once this is installed find the Remote applications config file. On Vista you will have to enable hidden folders and files and navigate to: C:\ProgramData\Pinnacle\Remoterm\Profiles
3. First make a copy of profiles.ini and rename it to profiles.bak.
4. Now open the profiles.ini file and replace it with this code:
