JP1 Remotes

There are two separate issues being discussed here:
1) how to get JP1 working with the OP's linux box, and
2) getting an upgrade for his Scientific Atlanta Explorer 3100 STB that works with his URC-8811 remote.

I don't have any first hand knowledge of what was done to get things working with ...

Have you tried setup code Cable 0877? That runs most SA boxes.

Thanks, I tried that and 1877, but neither one worked. Maybe this is a newer model. I was able to get some basic functionality by using the automatic code search method, but it basically just allows changing the channel up or down. I ...

Oh right - the model of the cable box, duh. I was thinking in terms of "learning" from the remote. The cable box is a "Scientific Atlanta Explorer 3100," and I found a 2100, so I guess I'll try starting with that.

I'm not having any luck getting IR.exe to see the remote, though. I'll just post my ...

Just the TW box. The other stuff is already programmed, I just don't want to lose what I already have.

Like I said, I didn't see any upgrade for this remote, but I might just have missed it among all the other files. It's a little confusing jumping back into this again cold and trying to remember ...

Well, maybe I worded it poorly. I'm sure I'll remember how to use the software once I actually install windows and load it again. I'm asking more specifically if anything is known about this particular UR5U remote, if there are any codes for it already, or similar ones that will work, etc. I'm ...

Okay, let's forget about linux. I don't know how to get linux to recognize the remote through the serial port, and I don't really feel like dealing with it. So I'll just get an old computer set up with windows and do it there.

So I guess my main question is how do get the keycodes for the UR5U ...

I'm posting this in Beginners because it's been so long since I had to mess with my JP1 remote that I'm totally out of the loop. I also use linux basically exclusively, and don't know if there are linux tools yet for programming remotes.

The new remote I just got for digital cable is from Time ...

i have a question about setting buttons for specific FM stations when in receiver mode. all i seem to have available in the device upgrade for this receiver (not even the same one, but i didn't see one for the model i have) is the choice to set the channel +/- buttons to that function, meaning i ...

Just FYI, rather than continue waiting for the larger mailing boxes to arrive from the USPS, I found a way to package the larger remotes in the smaller boxes, so everything except the URC-9910 orders went out this morning. The URC-9910s will have to wait for the larger boxes before I can mail those ...
