JP1 Remotes

I wanted to share what I found when trying to get a particular remote working. I suspect what I found may be useful to others.

Brief background: most of my remotes are JP1 remotes and I use the parallel connector for them. But I have one Comcast 1067 remote which appears to be a JP1.2. To work ...

When you say "RM is what told me it was a 44000-B00" do you mean RMIR or IR.exe, because RM doesn't talk to the remote.

Right RMIR. That's where I started.

That picture is definitely not a Navigator, but I don't know what it is. Reading between the lines, I'm guessing that you downloaded your ...

Sure, thanks for the interest, Rob. Here's the link:

Each remote has a table of values that can be used for the numeric buttons. When you create an upgrade, if the data that you've entered for the numeric buttons matches an entry in the table, it will use the table entry instead of the data that you've entered as this saves memory.

Wow, cool, okay ...

Rob, thanks! That did the trick.

The only remaining problem was that none of the digits worked. I discovered by accident that changing the EFC on the num 0 made all of the other digits work except num 0 (because now it didn't map to the right code). Fortunately this is MythTV I'm controlling so ...

I'm resurrecting an old Navigator 44000-B00 remote I haven't used in ages as a partially functioning remote for the kids. (No volume, no power, but transport and arrow controls.) The remote works fine with my current Motorola cable box device upgrade that I loaded in using IR. But the device I ...

I also had issues with a macro definition on this extender. The instructions do indicate that the duration of sent codes is decreased and that appears to be a problem for my Panasonic TV. The instructions go on to describe what to do if the delay is a problem but they don't have a fix for the ...

I can't move the shift key in the ReplayTV 1.2 extender. It appears to work correctly in the default location (the "TV[Power]" key) but moving it to other keys doesn't appear to work.


I did get other keys to work for shift. There were a number of problems. First of all, one of the things I was ...

I can't move the shift key in the ReplayTV 1.2 extender. It appears to work correctly in the default location (the "TV[Power]" key) but moving it to other keys doesn't appear to work.

I'm using the KeyCodes.htm file that came with the extender. And when I enter a key code on the General tab, I use ...

Regarding format: nothing special, just use the txt files that KM saves

Thanks, Elizabeth. Before asking my question, I had gone through the whole upload process but canceled just before the final click because it seemed too easy! And I didn't want to post something that was setup incorrectly. I ...

Now that I have my 8811 working as I'd like, and the device upgrade files I created seem to be working pretty well, I'd like to upload them to the files section. I've created 6 upgrades since only a few of my devices were already in the upgrades folder (and my Sony DVD player croaked just after I ...

:) Rob, sorry, no, I'm not an expert-to-be. I wish I were. But hardware just isn't my thing - no aptitude whatsoever. I had thought about offering to send the remote to someone who was interested in hacking it, but I don't think my parents would appreciate that. :)

I have been slugging through ...

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the quick response.

Ken.

My parents got a new Comcast HD cable box and it has a remote that didn't work with IR.exe - I got the message saying that I should check to make sure the interface is plugged in. And my computer and JP1 interface work just fine with my 8811. Uh-oh....

I've been doing some digging in the forums ...
