Hi guys, first of all i want to excuse if i write in the wrong section and for my awful english (i'm from italy).

I'm searching for the code for Sky decoder made by Thomson

my OFA is the kamelon 9960, i think it is jp1 because it has 6 pins under the batteries, but i prefer to set the code from the remote instead with cable and PC.

Some one can help me to find this code?

Or a COMPLETE list of codes because the codes given from OFA is ald and very few.

Have a nice day.

Or, to put it another way...

1. Device: Thompson Digibox for "SKY Italia"
2. Type of device: Satellite STB
3. Year: 2004+
4. UEI Remote model: URC-9960
5. Do you have a JP1 cable? I'm guessing NO.
6. Still have original remote? I'm guessing YES.
7. Checked the file section? I'm guessing NO.
8. Checked Pronto file section (at R/C)? I'm guessing NO.
9. Partially working setup code? I'm guessing NO.
10. Learning remote question? n/a

I searched at Wiki and found this page that sheds some light on this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_Italia

.. and this press release from Thompson.

Based on the info on the Wiki page, I would guess that one of the regular Digibox upgrades would work, such as this one...

Non-JP1 users can load that code in via the URC-9960's modem.

With the 9960 a U.S.-market remote, and the Sky a European device, there is no built-in code for the Sky box in the 9960. You need to take one of the upgrades from the file section (of which there are SEVERAL for Sky), and modify it for your 9960, and then upload it to your remote, either via .wav file or via a JP1 cable.

You don't need to modify the URC-9960 if you don't want to. You can use the JP1 tools to convert the upgrade that I posted above into a WAV file, which you can then load into the remote using it's modem.
