IR Code Capturing

**zollymonsta** · 21-09-2004, 07:37 PM

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

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

Cheers,

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*

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

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....

Heh Heh.. good thinking. could be worth a shot.

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?
