So at https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/viewt ... 6&start=15 I suggested you buy an STB that was either compatible with the Slingbox or compatible with the Logitech Harmony.

You appear to have bought one that isn't compatible with either of them.

What were you thinking ?

Later: I found a Easy home DVB-T HD ViVA is that it ?

If it is that box then it uses the same codes as this one

So try that one. The instructions are out of date so use the ones I gave you before.

They are definitely the same codes. It is pointless making a new BIN file, all I would be doing is changing the name of the ZIP file, the BIN files would be identical to the ones from this device.

This cannot be a coincidence that none of the Custom Remotes I am building for you work. You must be doing something wrong. Are you REALLY sure the IR Blaster is actually firing ? Are you REALLY sure you have the IR Blaster mounted over the IR receiver in the box. Have you tried resetting the Slingbox ?

You really don't believe in volunteering information do you :D

It will take some time but I can probably work with that, but you MUST tell me EXACTLY what function each button does so I can match them up.

OK, I've spent some time figuring it out now and have a set of codes for Code 55. But I need to know where to put them.

Over to you.

Yes, what I said in my previous post. You told me that Stop button acts as Channel Down, I need to know what EVERY button does.
