Cable/Satellite Box Compatibility & Codes List

Advertisements

I ended up finding the Ir blasters in my basement. They work ok, but I would still like the Serial Port.

I spoke with a cox representative and he explained it was an economic decision. If I really wanted it I should get my friends together to tell cox "hey please turn on the feature that costs $.20."

I signed up for cox digital cable specifically for the serial port. When I find the right person at Cox I plan on explaining I could pay $45 a month for basic, which I know will work with Tivo, or pay $110 for digital (and rent their box).

As best I can tell the DCH series boxes were released in 07/07 to meet the requirements of "707." Somehow I ended up on a whitepaper for one and...that was way over my head.

I found the IrBlaster worked with a Motorola type Digital Cable box using "005" style channels AND pressing "Enter." I think without enter would work too, but I did it just so it changes quicker.

 

On my motorola digital box I chose 005 and yes for enter. I have such an old box and my remote is so old that you did have to hit enter. My parents remote with there DVR is so much different. I just know one of the software updates made my changing go to fast and it was messing up and Tivo helped me get it back to the slower changing and I was fine ever since.

Good Luck!! Rose

 

Just got Tivo this week and didn't realize my hughes hird-e1 wasn't compatable. I can get some channels to work on the remote, but it's mostly a struggle. Since there's no serial port ( and I've tried all IR manuevers - tent, positioning, etc.) Is there anything else I can do?

 

I don't have an inactivity setting for the screensaver . I just got Tivo and am regretting it because of the stupid dish, otherwise i love it. I just want it to be able to record shows... I read through this thread but coudn't find anything for the 322. I don't have a vcr any longer and got tivo instead of one. What can i do. Thank you.

Nevermind

 

Has anyone figured out where or how to get a serial port cable that fits the most common sat box by Starchoice? We have the DSCH505
Any help would be appreciated.

 

cbear70, the instructions I have to disable the 322's screensaver are:
go into Menu >System Setup >Installation >Updates.

Hope that helps because it's all I've got.


chilicasa, looking at Starchoice's website doesn't show me a DSCH505. I only saw user manuals for the DSR505 and didn't see a serial port for it. You may want to post your question in a new thread and include an image to make it easier for someone to help.

 

I have the Dish 322 receiver, two of them in fact (4 TVs) and having been using TV with one successfully for years.

I recently acquired another Tivo unit. My understanding is that I can't use this on one of the two TVs using the second 322 output, which leaves only one TV left I can use it on. However, it sounds like Tivo will not be able to change the channel on that receiver anyway since it isn't on remote channel 1 (my main Tivo Box is using 1).

Are these assumptions correct, and that basically anyone that uses the 322 receivers will only ever be able to have one channel-changing Tivo? If so, I'll probably just hook it up to another TV and treat it as a VCR. I should be able to transfer recordings between units fine, and pause the program that's currently playing.

Thanks!

 

I can't get my tivo to change channels on my directv h21. Anyone have the IR code that works?

 

Have you tried 10074?

 

I have a Series 2 80gb Dual Tuner Tivo box. I'm now thinking about getting DISH for a 2 TV setup. I want to be able to use the Tivo box to record one TV while watching live TV on the other one. My question is which Dish box I should get: 1) a dual tuner 322 box; Or 2) two single tuner 311 boxes (I don't know if Dish will give me this option, though).

Please advise. Thanks a lot!

HELP! I need an IR code for a Pace TDZ779X. Apparently its a new HD box provided by mediacom. Any suggestions?

 

^^^^Answer: per Pace - use Motorola codes - It works. No thanks are deserving to the following companies: Tivo & Mediacom.

 

Any chance anyone knows the IR code for a Scientific Atlanta IPN603MCG? I've googled myself out on this one. ;-)

Thanks in advance...

 

The forum has conflicting messages about getting the IR Blaster to control Directv model R15-100 DVRs. Has anyone gotten this work? If so, what code(s) was used?

Thanks

I don't have any data for Scientific Atlanta IPN603MCG but the common SA codes are 00018 & 10080.

I also don't have any data for the R15 but 10074 is the latest code we added for DTV models.

 

The R15 is a DVR, so why would you want to have another DVR control it?

 

does any know of a universal remote that will control the sony sat-hd300 directv reciev er? please help ive already tried three to no avail.

 

If the receiver is set for RF, none will. Set it to IR, and use the standard Sony sat code.
