Slingbox 500 remote for Netgem 8200

Post by MG999 »

I use a set-top box made by Netgem. It is their 8200 model. The remote for the Netgem HD7600 works for all basic functions (on/off, channel selection, etc) but not for rec and time shift functions. I've looked hard and cannot find a suitable bin file - anybody out there that might be able to help.

Thanks

I just checked the Logitech database to install the 8200 on my Harmony Remote and found the Record function on the 7600 uses the same code as the 8200 and their is no Time-Shift function defined. So not much I can do unless you want to start the trial and error method of testing each of the 200 unused codes.

What do you mean by "I have the IR Remote" ? Are you talking about the NetGem one or something else ?

Hi Alan,

The OP is also working on this thread at RC
http://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/mb ... ght=netgem

Note what the remote looks like in that thread. A picture is worth 1000 words. The Time-Shift is the Play Pause I would imagine.

We had another thread here in our forum, that had some other OBCs.
https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14735

So I imagine that there is some issue.

Play/Pause used to use 152, now they use 154. 152 in your upgrade is now a teletxt code on one of the custom bottons.

Also the info button has changed.

So apparently this manufacturer likes to play musical chairs with its obcs.
Remember to provide feedback to let us know how the problem was solved and share your upgrades.

Tip: When creating an upgrade, always include ALL functions from the oem remote, even if you never plan on assigning them to a button. Complete function lists makes an upgrade more helpful to others.

He has also posted on PlaceShifting, 2 different forums on answers.slingbox.com and e-mailed me :D

I've asked him to limit himself to just one forum and tell me which one. I have the BIN files built I just need to know where to send them !!

Well, I hope he is as eager to provide feedback as he is to ask for help.

Netgem 8200 remote

Post by MG999 »

Thank you for any and all assistance. The NETGEM remote that is supplied with my cable box is identical to the Telstra T except for the fact that it does not have the 4 coloured keys

Again any help appreciated
