JP1 Remotes

[mattmac]

I have searched on end for an answer and couldn't find one.

Device:Directv H20 receiver
Type of device: satellite receiver
Year: 2005
JP1 Remote model: 15-2116
JP1 user? yes
Still have original remote? yes
Checked the file section? yes
Checked Pronto file section (at R/C)? yes
Partially working setup code? no
Learning remote question? receive error when I try to even get it to learn.

I would categorize myself as a beginner. I have upgraded 4 or 5 devices and uploaded two remotes without problem.

In an attempt to program a code for the H20, I have tried to upgrade the 1377 code for the D10 receiver. The remotes look similar. It has not worked. I cannot even get my remotes to learn any of the functions from the remote.

Any suggestions or ideas.

Thanks.

Is your receiver set for RF? The H20 will accept RF & IR, but not at the same time. Change it to Ir, and retry code SAT 1377.

Bingo. It makes sense now, but never dawned on me this afternoon when I was trying everything else. I switched the remote and receiver back to IR, and it worked. For your notes I upgraded the 1377 code.

Thanks for the help Edmund.

Bingo was that the file already created for the D10 receiver worked on my H20 when I changed the receiver from RF to IR. The code that is eventually used for the H20 is Sat. 1377. That code needs to be upgraded to the remote with the JP1.

Darrings, I never tried to learn any functions after I changed the receiver, as the upgraded code worked for me.

I will try to learn a random key when I get home tonight to see if that changed. Look for a reply after 9:00 central.

The file for the Sat is already out there in the JP Files section. If you order the cable, you will be ready to go when you get it. I would love to claim I am ready to create files, but I'm not.

I am not working on any type of file. I was just going to determine whether my remote would learn the D20 remote functions if the Directv remote was set to IR.

If you order the cable, all the instructions and files for what you need are out there right now. When the receiver is set to the IR function, the 1377 code for the D10 receiver works well.

Hold on...OK, I think I understand now.

I just downloaded the DirecTV_D10_SAT_1377_KM.txt file from the site, opened RM, set it to use KM (Open file) and then I saw the 1377 already there.

I assume that I just need to hit "Copy" and my remote will be programmed for the new sat.

Thanks!

I actually used the key master program as opposed to road master. There are great instructions that make it really easy. Once you have done it, a code can be upgraded in about 1 minute. Here are the instructions. Download the proper files.

Here is th name of the code you will need.
DirecTV_D10_SAT_1377_KM.txt

It is located in the files section, under codes, under satellite. Copy in the data, and upload the remote.

Thanks!

I just placed an order for a cable so as soon as it makes it in....

You can use either KM or RM with that upgrade file.

Instructions for using it with RM are at

I don't have a H20 receiver, but I do have its remote, the Rc24. I taught my 2116 22 commands before running out of memory. They worked perfectly on my R15's. Which uses the same IR code as the H20 receiver.

To learn:

1. press and hold P
2. scroll down to IR LEARN
3. press SELECT
4. pick a key to learn to, and release
5. With the remotes head to head, press and hold key on the 2116, until the screen changes to SUCCESS,

repeat steps 4 & 5 for other keys.
