JP1 Remotes

I plugged my URC-7960 into RMIR 2.02 using the Tiao JP1.2/3 cable, which I know is working properly, as I used it ages ago to programme my old Kameleon remote.

Unfortunately, I could not get a good physical connection on the 7960 (the 6 hole plug does not feel as though it is making good contact ...

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I have just ordered a "tester" URC 7140 Essence, with a view eventually to replace my venerable "fleet" of URC 7562 B01/R00's.

I believe the 7140 is JP1.4, which is not currently supported in ir.exe. I have both types of USB to JP1.x cable.

Will this situation ...

Thanks everybody.

You are absolutely right, I have an RF videosender (5.8GHz) transmitting from the bedroom, and disconnecting the lounge receiver's IR eye has completely solved the problem. Very curious. I could change the videosender's RF channel, but would this affect the IR problem? In the ...

I've had lots of greatly appreciated help programming my URC 7562's from this forum .

Now I have a new problem. We have upgraded our main television (in the lounge) from a Philips plasma to a Samsung LED. We have a small Samsung in the bedroom, and this now responds to signals from the lounge, but ...

Hi NBoater

Well spotted, and most interesting.

Have I interpreted this correctly? All the modes in which current Sky remotes can be set to operate are simply the same key codeset, each mode being differentiated by separate EC numbers, 00 for Sky+, 05 for HD, etc?

I use the brilliant SkyEye ...

Thanks NBoater

I loaded in code 1175, and changed the protocol from 00 to 05, and reassigned it as code 2000. It works a treat on the SkyHD box, without any interference to the Sky+ box - and the select key operates properly on HD! Had I known this in February, I needn't have troubled Rob to write ...

Hi NBoater

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, code 1847 operates both Sky HD and Sky+ (in common with code 1175). Robman very kindly wrote a custom code (2000) for me, based on the learnt signals uploaded from my original Amstrad SkyHD remote. This does not operate the Sky+ box. The select ...

Hi - sorry to resurrect an old thread.

The .ir file that Rob very kindly created for me way back in March is really great, but there is one very minor problem. In the SkyHD EPG, the "Select" (mute) key refused to work at all, so I overwrote it and performed a "learn" operation from the original ...

Robman - You are a star!!
Many, many thanks for all your advice and hard work in getting this code to work for me. It has completely solved my problem.

Kindest regards,

David

PS Many thanks for your advice and time as well, Vicky.

Many thanks Vicky

Do I need to start with a blank RMDU file (if so, where do I find one as my copy of RM does not have a "New File" selection), or can I adapt a ready made file from another codeset?

I understand OBC entries, but what about the EFC, EFCS and Hex entries, as the IR.exe learning mode ...

Oops, I must have been hallucinating, the device number of your learns are different than the 1662. But you have all the information you need to setup a device upgrade.

RC6 6,20
Device 5, Subdevice 12

Thanks Vicky, I thought I was going round the bend! Problem is, I don't know how to do a device ...

Well, I've started with a clean IR.exe file for my remote to avoid interactions, and used the import .wav feature to enter the file OFA sent me for device number 1662. I then manually entered "1662" on the SAT key.

Uploaded to remote - 1662 is present in "Devices", complete with all relevant keys ...

Hi Vicky

OFA emailed me code 1662 in a wave file, and I entered this using the import .wav facility in IR.exe. It registered okay in the "devices" section, and all the functions were there, but it simply would not work! If you're confident this is the right code, I'll have another go at it.

Many ...

Hello Rob

Sorry about the delay in replying, I was called away unexpectedly.

The Amstrad 780 link you gave me was not the file I thought it was, so I tried it again. Still no luck, I'm afraid.

I have zipped up two IR files, with all the learnt codes from the original Sky HD remote. If you wouldn ...
