    IR Code Capturing

    Has anyone in NZ had a go at capturing IR codes from remotes using the TiVo itself (via the OzTiVo guide) ?

    I had a quick go the other night but found the info a bit confusing regarding editing lines together and ensuring the count for each digit file showed the same amount of line/characters (eg 40).

    Keen to be successful with IR code capturing to create IR files for various boxes/vcrs

    IR Codes

    You could try
    www.remotecentral.com
    They have the largest database of IR codes.

    Cheers,
    Eli

    I could be wrong, but to me it looks like they only have codes for multifunction remotes.

    Oh dear.. well I had a crack tonight and failed. Now TiVo #2 is unhappy and in constant reboot mode. Time to re-image again.. *sigh*

    Re: RemoteCentral IR Codes

    The article below explains how to use Pronto codes (from an actual Phillips/Marantz Pronto remote or RemoteCentral files)

    http://minnie.tuhs.org/twiki/bin/vie...ersionAndSetup

    I used this info successfully to create IR codes for the Sky "Zenith" decoder via my Pronto.

    Ooo a pronto.. Yep, saw them for sale on ascent.co.nz for something like $938.. a bit pricey. Don't have one of 'em myself, sadly. Looks a lot easier if you have one of those.

    I should add, do you know of anyone selling a second hand pronto remote for a resonable price?

    A long time ago in a land far away..

    I borrowed a pronto from a hifi shop to test compatiblity in a corporate application. specifically checking useabililty and compatibility for video conferencing applications.

    If a fella got desparate and possessed large nads a similar line might gain the use of a pronto for 48hrs at no charge....

    feeling stupid?

    Ihad a look on remotecentral and found a possible set of pronto codes for my box (Multichoice satellite receiver).However, i have not had much luck reading through the decompiled files to find the pronto codes? The ones I seem to find start with 5000 not 0000 and are very short?
    Am I being stupid?
