You might want to send a private message to Brucep, as I don't think he visits here much.

Hi,

I've been in contact with Lance about this....... we need to find out wether a standard "Digital" style Austar remote will work with the new Austar HD boxes. If anyone has both a flinders, and a HD box it would be a great help if you could let us know if the remote from the flinders will change channels on the HD box (using 0-9 numeric keys only)..... it might also be worth trying to capture the IR codes using IR Slice Creator as seen here: http://www.oztivo.net/twiki/bin/view...IrSliceCreator
from the HD remote, on the off chance that the format of the commands is able to be learned. Failing that, I've offered to post up a "Flinders" remote to try it out, for the cost of postage.......as a last resort.

Regards,

Bruce

Hi Bruce, I would like to purchase one of your converter devices from you.

I only need it as a kit and I don't actually need the micro from the original remote as I intend on interfacing it to a hacked IQ remote. (the IQ remote does not have a removable chip in it)

90% of what you have done will work for me, so I see no point in reinventing the wheel.

Also are you prepared to make a circuit diagram available? I would also be interested in the source for the PIC as well.

Can you let me know how I go about buying a kit and how much it is.

Cheers

Rohan

I would just like to publicly thank Bruce for his help and generosity in providing me with one of his converters.

Making My S1 TiVo work with the Foxtel IQ will be much easier now with Bruce's help.

Thanks again.
