Dreambox IR codes

I have been trying to get a TiVo to control a Dreambox model DM500S via IR blaster. I think someone else has such a box but I can't find any posts about it.

During GS I selected OzTiVo Dreambox for the IR code set but now comparing CableBoxCodeNum 30114 with the list here http://minnie.tuhs.org/tivo-bin/irdatabase.cgi it is listed as a Hills HSM075.

Looking in MFS using TivoWeb at "Component/Ir/TivoFormat/30114 the codes don't look the same as here http://minnie.tuhs.org/tivo-bin/irda...rowse&id=30114

I captured the codes with irSliceCreator, and with a digital scope determined the carrier frequency to be about 38kHz. The captured codes don't seem to work either.

Can anyone with a DM500S shed some light on this?

30114 was created by a New Zealander for the Hills Freeview box. I uploaded it to the OzTiVo slice.

We did have Dreambox at some stage though check mfs/Component/Type/2/, just don't know how it disappeared

I've retrieved the Dreambox IR codes from our other TiVo I set up ages ago. They work fine on a friend's DM500S but mine is a bit intermittent. I've uploaded them to the IR database but didn't specify a model number so there is no link for people to download them. Won't be a problem once they are included in the database proper.

Do you know which model the codes do work with these codes, and i'll add them so the codes can be seen.

I'm going to build a new IR slice soon also.

I can only confirm they work with Dreambox model DM500-S. They are not perfect though.
You will need to remove the link from "Oztivo Dreambox" to codeset 30114 in the IR database also.
Thanks.

Yes, thanks it's on the todo list, but a little unsure how to disassociate it using a slice. But I will get it sorted.

Probably won't be for a couple of weeks as I have lost ADSL due to a bad phone company churn and not likely to get it back for a couple of weeks, so now I'm stuck in the dark ages using dialup which is painfully slow and unreliable.

Hi All,

Just wondering is there was any update on the DM500s codes ? I have a few boxes I am trying to set up, but the listed codes for the Dream do not seem to work.

Many thanks for your help.

You haven't added your location to your profile.

If your in Australia then Skolink's codes are now in the slice and if they don't work, then I can't really help you.

If your in New Zealand, then maybe they haven't updated the IR slice. Ask DJC to do so.

Peter.

No they are not in the slice yet. Follow these instructions, but using the attached file.

The command to issue rather than streamaster is loadcodes

also i recommend turning off leading zeros bu issuing the command

dbset xxxx/xx RecieverNumDigits 1 note the way receiver is spelt (i before e)

The attached codes are the original OzTiVo set, but don't work too well. I haven't had any success trying to capture a new set.

Thanks for your response Peter and Skolink.

I will give your instructions a try and see how I go.

Cheers,

Kronk.:)
