i made the simple interface cable. it works perfectly with the rs 15-2116 i
bought but not at all with the urc-1057 that my cable co gives out. any ideas? do i need a different cable?

Is that URC-1057 a JP1 remote (I've never heard of that model number before)? Does it have the 6-pin JP1 connector installed? If so, does it say "JP1.1" near the connector?

ah yes I have a URC-1057 as well from comcast for my DCT-2000. It does indeed have the 6-pin header for jp1 but it seems to be disabled. I haven't messed with it much though...

here's the remote FYI:

If it's one of the new flash-memory remotes, it's NOT compatable with JP1 even though there's a 6-pin connector. They usually have "JP1.1" on the PCB next to the connector which indicates it is a new flash remote.

Wee need to know first off what the JP1.1 connector connects to, then from there figure out an interface and how to read/write the storeage chip.

Our hardware expert, Tommy Tyler, has been looking into this and so far hasn't come up with anything.
