Hello!
I have a Humax Series 2 TIVO (with DVD burner) hooked up to my newly acquired DirecTV H20 Receiver using the IR cables. I have been unsuccessfully running the guided setup, where the main problem is that the TIVO is unable to change the channels on the satellite receiver. I came across this site reading a thread about problems with channel changing, and when I came to post, I'm lost as to where I should have put this. Sorry in advance! In all my years, I sheepishly admit this is my first post!
Anyway, I've read posts that suggest moving the IR cables to the right of the IR receiver on the satellite box, and that just doesn't seem to be working. I've tried the IR tent, but even though that doesn't work, this box (my 2nd one in a week) seems to run WAAY too hot for that. The odd thing is, sometimes, the TIVO seems to get one or two of the digits sent (and received) of the three digit satelliete channel, but never the whole channel digit combination and therefore fails.
I've also read about IR codes, but I'm unsure where that would come into play, seeming as I have not seen a place to input that information in the guided setup.
If it helps, I have successfully set up my H21-200 DTV receiver with my TIVO Series 2 box in the bedroom...no problems, no issues, with IR cables and no tent. I just feel like I sound like an idiot here, lol.
I don't feel as utterly devoid of finding a viable solution as I did when it first didnt' work. It seems this box does in fact work with this particular DTV box, but at the moment, I've hit a wall with solutions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
