JP1 Remotes

Rob, et.al...,
I have downloaded and tested your beta 4dtv protocol on a ReplayTV 5000 remote and a OFA 8910 remote and it works great. Saved 15 bytes in the ReplayTV's memory and over 30 bytes in the 8910 since I replaced the older "hacked" 4dtv protocol from both remotes. All functions I have ...

Rob, You are right (as always it seems) it is not all that much trouble to do, only issue I ran into was the time I forgot that the extender did away with the learning space and tried to learn a code with the extender still in memory. Now that really was an ugly mess, but as you say easily ...

Rob, Thanks, I'll do that in the future. Was going to use the learning trick, trouble is my 8910 is using the extender and it lost the "learning" ability (unless I reset to factory defaults). The Devices4.xls gave me what I needed (protocol/fixed data/unit number, EFC buttons etc) after I tested ...

Rob, Yes I checked but did not find my specific models. I went on and created one by hand for the TV which works great, but ran out of memory adding the VCR. That's when I decided to use the "RCA Combo (Official)" protocol (my first using a combo protocol, I did try the other device combiner, but ...

All, I went ahead and programmed the device 0047 into my replayTV 5k remote by hand. I had almost forgot the Devices4.xls file that gave the normal buttons and protocol info. to me, so other than having to change it to a VCR device (so all the buttons were programmable) the device upgrade went ...

Jon, I have been using JP1 on my OFA 8910 ever since my first 4k ReplayTV and am fairly comfortable with KM and IR. The 5K remote has been extended, so adding devices are only limited by the amount of EEPROM memory. I have re-created a device upgrade for a Sylvania TV/VCR/DVD combo using the audio ...

I have a ReplayTV 5000 remote that is mostly brain dead due to the limited number of buttons it has in it's internal memory (Power, Vol+, Vol- and Mute). I would like to upgrade the devices to fully functional devices but not many on the posts here include the built-in devices (since in the normal ...

Rob (and all other folks who have tried to help me on this journey),
Well I opened up the remote and as soon as I touched the IR bulb, I say that on the other side of the PC board the solder joint was moving. Took out my trusty solder pencil and tacked it back down. Reset and reloaded my extended ...

Rob,
The thing does power cycle the ReplayTV once in a while, but very infrequently. Yes the LED lights, and when I load the extender pressing the ReplayTV button activates the extender (4 short flashes), but it does not work. Lemme open it up (cannot be any worse off than it is now) and see if the ...

Rob,
The Purge took, the 981 reset took but the remote (even in this purely default mode) still fails to control the ReplayTV. This is a bad remote! As for the eBAY purchase, it seems that right toward the end of the 5k series DNNA took over an eBAY account and started dumping them in lots of 30 ...

Rob,
Thanks for replying I guess I am just a little worried to do much with the newer ReplayTV 5K remote until I find out for sure the older one was not messed up by me in the first place. Best as I remember (because I can no longer get this situation to happen again even after I reset the remote ...

Hal and Rob, The device upgrade was a VCR type originally with only the Vol+, Vol- and Mute buttons defined. I have long passed this step and have been able to get the extender, my TV/VCR/DVD (all buttons as a VCR type) and both ReplayTV device upgrades into the thing successfully. I have done so ...

Well to further confirm that the first ReplayTV 5000 remote is bad, I added the device code for my Sylvania TV/VCR/DVD (0821, it is in the ReplayTV book but the remote gave the long flash when programming it, so I added the device I used from my OFA 8910) to the new RTV5k remote. This remote ...

Just messing around I took my newer ReplayTV 5000 remote and downloaded the remote to IR. Saved this image as old.txt and ran the command "extinstall r5kex1.hex "old.txt" "new.txt"" and I get the following error "Upgrade pointer at address $0100 points to $FFFF, which is out of range". That seems to ...

I originally posted on the Yahoo site but did not get to far, so thought I would bring my troubles here. The more I mess with this the more confused it becomes. I bought a new ReplayTV 5000 and immediately plugged the remote into my computer's JP1 plug. The remote would not let me download from the ...
