Posted: Mon May 14, 2007 9:47 am Post subject: Is "Anywhere Remote" Compatible with JP1 Remotes? |
|
|
I bought a couple of Next Generation Home Products Remote Extenders (the spaceship looking thing) (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=525861) and can't get it to reliably work with my JP1 8810 remotes. Does anyone know if this thing will work with OFA remotes with JP1 software? |

I have an 8810 using JP-1, and it works perfectly fine w/ this next generation product. Have you gone through all of the manufacturers trouble shooting? |

Thanks Zellerman. I've been using JP1 7800's for years and am moving to 8811's and the NG devices so as to meet my needs in my new house. I haven't seen much from the manufacturer on these things - their web site is sparse as is the documentation that comes with the product. Do you have a link to its troubleshooting procedures? |

I see that you are an old time 7800 user.
Did you happen to see that the 7800 has a newer extender (version 5) with nested macros, X_TV-X_CANCEL commands, x-shift features, and is packaged with DSM, LKP, and the Multiplexor? |

Yes Vicky. I spent a week reading as much as I could on this new forum before I posted, and saw the new extender. Thank you! I haven't been JP1 active for years, just minor changes to my 7800's when I bought new AV equipment. The 7800's are getting difficult to find and mine are physically worn out, so I thought I'd try the 8811's.
I used to love writing assembly language (9900) and might start back up with remotes. Looks like a lot of fun, but as with any programming, very time consuming. For now, I can only express my gratitude to those that do. |

Hey John,
Did you consider the URC-9910 remote? It's got an RF extender built into it. _________________ Rob

Rob, I bought the 8811's from you a couple of years ago anticipating the demise of my 7800's, and didn't think about the 9910's recently when I bought the NG RF devices. Kind of wished I would have looked a little closer - The 9910's look like nice units. Oh well, too late now. Maybe when the 8811's wear out... |

Buy the 9910 now when you can, and keep the 8811 as a backup. |
