JP1 Remotes

funny thing happened. I didn't want to give up with the new remote, so I decided to give another try. And this is what happened:

I built the JP1.2/3 COM cable. Plugged the ribbon to the remote. Something didn't work, so I unplugged it and - surprise! - the ribbon pulled out all but one pins of the ...

Nope. I tried several times. It doesn't blink back and it doesn't give 2 blinks after pressing 3. That's not a genuine remote. It doesn't have dreambox logo or any ID. It may be different.
I have a couple of FTDI RS232 converters, so I'll try to connect it to the remote (when I figure it out how ...

I've built the JP1 LPT cable. It can read the old remote. Its code is 0031 as you said.
It can not communicate however with the new remote. Despite it having JP1 printed on the PCB near the connector, it doesn't pass the "Check interface" test. So again you're probably right and I will need the JP1 ...

Ok. Thank you very much!

I didn't program the old remote. It was configured and worked right out of the box.
So you're saying I can not reprogram the new one using buttons? Do I get you right binky?
Will I then be able to reprogram the new remote using DIY LPT EEPROM JP1 cable?

With 983 no blinking either. Both remotes behave exactly as I described with 990 (i.e. - one long blink after 3 (old) or after 4 (new) digits) regardless of the device DVB/TV.

Amazing. I never though these remotes have so much features.
Strangely, neither of the two blinks anything back. The old one only produces a long blink already after 9-9-0, while the new one gives the long blink after the fourth digit, i.e. 9-9-0-x (x is a digit [1-5]).

They do not blink back any ...

Ok. thanks. That clears a lot for me with these standards. But what should I do then? I mean is there anything I could try without building the cable? I mean, can I try some button+code magic?
I'm not that all against the cable, since now I use 4 remotes to control my hi-fi/tv setup, and only today ...

the original remote is URC-39730 B02-00. The one I've bought has no such sticker inside (only XLF Q.C. passed). I bought it from a HK seller on ebay, so I guess it must me some kind of a clone or whatever.
Although it does have a 6 pin header labeled JP1.

I don't have the cable yet. But if needed ...

I've bought this one

Hi.
I've been using Dreambox DM7000s sat receiver for a while and I've recently decided to buy a replacement remote for it. I picked something from ebay, which was advertised to work with dm 7020 (and 7000) series as well. However upon receiving it I've found that the new remote can not control my ...
