Enter key and IR codes

[NerdCat]

Ive been playing with my new series 1 Tivo remote control codes trying to answer my own question. But I managed to get it so it wouldnt change to some two digit channels at all, in short I got it very confused. So I ended up redoing guided setup and the custom IR code generation using irSliceCreator and taking a break !

At that point I figured it might be easier to ask someone who actually knows :).

Firstly :

When asked "does your STB use an enter key", does this mean "does the STB HAVE to have enter pressed in order to select a channel" or does it mean "can you use the enter key to speed up channel selection if you prefer" ?

I am hoping the latter as my STB will change channel instantly when the enter key is used, such as 2 2 enter - goes immediately to channel 22. Im hoping the TiVo can do this for me rather than me having to wait.

Which leads me to my next question :

When I use irSliceCreator and then TiVosh as instructed, tivosh complains about "invalid attribute DigEnter. So I edited the .tcl output file and removed the reference to DigEnter for now just so I could get my codes recognised.

Why is it doing this, and how can I get the enter key recognised (if indeed this will do me any good, as per question 1).

logs copied below.

many thanks for any help.

When asked "does your STB use an enter key", does this mean "does the STB HAVE to have enter pressed in order to select a channel"

Yes that is what the question means.


I am hoping the latter as my STB will change channel instantly when the enter key is used, such as 2 2 enter - goes immediately to channel 22. Im hoping the TiVo can do this for me rather than me having to wait.

It would probably speed it up, but I haven't tested. In all reality you should never be channel surfing any more, as you will always have something already recorded to watch.


When I use irSliceCreator and then TiVosh as instructed, tivosh complains about "invalid attribute DigEnter. So I edited the .tcl output file and removed the reference to DigEnter for now just so I could get my codes recognised.

Did irSliceCreator give you the DigEnter variable? I think it should be Enter, not DigEnter.

It gave me DigEnter. The script execution, including the error, at the end of my last post is a straight Putty paste. The other digits that work are Dig1, Dig2 etc .... followed by DigEnter that doesnt ?

[petestrash]

Ok, so try just using Enter in the file...
