Help with getting Sky non-standard codes

[kitschcamp]

Ok, may seem a strange request, but can anyone help with generating TiVo IR codes for the following buttons on a standard Sky box.

- Services
- Down arrow
- Select

Bit delayed, but I can help if you're still stuck.

Please, if you could! I'm away from home this week, but the above keys on a standard Sky remote are what I need. Basically, I need it to select a channel from "Other Channels" instead of the real channel.

Another solution would be the SkyEye iTV, although no longer in production I believe. As that is exactly what I use mine for.

[kitschcamp]

Yeah, that'd work for ITV, but I'd also need it to "do the deed" for E4, too.

[Fred Smith]

SkyEye iTV can select 963 and 964 as other channels, is that not enough?

[kitschcamp]

No, it's not enough. It needs to go to "Other Channels" to select a channel from there - namely ITV Tyne Tees or E4 Ireland.

[Fred Smith]

Have you actually tried it?

I am using it for that purpose. I have tuned Virgin Radio as the first channel on the list under Other Channels and tuned in UTV as the second. So when I use TiVo to select 963 or 964 respectively, the Sky box goes 'Channel Unavailable', then into a menu and then to 'Other Channels' and then to the first (Virgin Radio) or the second (UTV) as required.

[kitschcamp]

But the listings for E4, for example, won't be in TiVo at 963 or 964, so it'd be practically useless. And neither would ITV. I'd need it to map 103 to the first option, and E4 to the second - if it can do that, great!

[kitschcamp]

Though thankfully Mike who makes them was incredibly helpful and made me a special version which maps 103 and 140 to the "Other Channels" section. Hats of to him, I can now record ITV and E4 again. Hurrah!
