Foxtel Digital Sat

Right....I will have to double check that, how do I go back to check this? or do I run GS from scratch?, I should have been more diligent in the choices if that turns out to be the prob!

I'll update with results soon

Run guided setup again, and you have hit the nail on the head: double check all things you enter before moving onto the next item.

Hi Darren,

I ran the GS again, and this time I chose foxtel digital satellite as you correctly pointed out. I am currently using code 30057 which seems to work, intermitantly though. I do get the triple digit channels though and they do natch my fox channels. eg fox 101 = TiVo 101.

That's good news the digit indescrepancy has been sorted.

As for the intermittent nature I notice in one of your posts you mention picking the "fast" option for IR codes. Maybe changing this to a slower setting will help.

You could also try experimenting with the position of the TiVo IR emitter location in front of your Foxtel as described here: http://www.oztivo.net/twiki/bin/view...ChangeChannels

I will do Darren, and thanks for all your help. I have currently set the code on medium, which gives me the intermittent operation. I will post with findings.

G'day Darren,
the problem seems to have been the placement of the IR. I read the guide you linked to and took its advise, I placed a single IR ifront of the box approx. 10cm away from it and now I get about 98% success using the ch up and down. I get 100% success by just using the guide on live TV and selecting channels from there.

Thanks for all you help Darren!

Fantastic! Glad that it is now all sorted and you've probably gained quite a bit of experience in the process. Great result all round

Thanks Darren, and thank you for your patience, time and efforts.

Just to help future users in their quest my set top box ia a DCN 720 Foxtel Digital Satellite service and the working code is 30057 - medium. The IR of the box seems to be on the RHS (when facing the box) near the last digit on the channel display.
