IR Code Capturing

Hi Sinbad

Any reason why you have not tried the new IRSliceCreator written by Brad McGill on the OzTiVo website?

I gave it a shot. It found my signal length and managed to capture some keystrokes, no problem, but I had no joy getting the tivo to send the keystrokes to the satellite box.

Is there a nifty way to check the frequency of the remote using a pronto file? Cos I suspect the default list of frequencies doesn't contain mine...

Thanks!

Scratch that request!!!
A little birdie told me that Tridge's Foxtel slice would work for my decoder, since the Foxtel decoders are made in South Africa...
I now have a fully functional tivo!!! Hooray! Thanks for the help (well apart from the EPG problem)

Howdy all,

I've used winLirc to capture and create IR remote codes for controlling a MP3 player and the process looks very similar to the IR capture process off oztivo. If it is related then $10 worth of parts does away with the need for a Pronto or Dragging it out of the Tivo's onboard receiver.

So - has anyone used this method? - ie capturing ir codes directly to a pc's comm port and converting using winlirc before processing into a tivo file?

Reason I'm interested is I'm about to setup a satellite box and am expecting some grief with the IR blaster... so am wondering if there is a smarter way of doing this. Of course the box is generic so may be just fine with the available codes but... tivoland never seems to work out that easy!

cheers,
Grant
