JP1 Remotes

I am about to buy one of these tomorrow or Monday at the latest. I have read on here that IR does not work with some of the newer models. Is there anything that I sould know before I go out and buy one? Is there a workaround for IR? I don't want to get a JP1 remote that I can not use IR with. That would be pointless.

TIA

By the way, is there any one place better than another to buy this remote?

Flipper, Rob Crowe the Grand Poobah of JP1 and expert on your issue is on vacation through the end of the week. I suspect no one else is answering, because they don't know.

You may want to bump this topic Monday.

I'm back. AFAIK, there is no external way to tell the difference between the two models. I've only seen one example of the newer remote and it was a prototype built using the old remote's casing, so that's not a good way to tell.

The new model is JP1 compatible, but the IR program needs some mods to work with it.
