JP1 Remotes

Hello,

I'm new to the group and need a little help with my ReplayTV remote. I have a Panasonic ReplayTV PV-HS2000...

The original remote has seen better days. I purchased another one from ebay (my wife likes the remote lay out) and it has "DEMO USE ONLY" written on the back. It will only control my Showstopper. The code set button doesn't work

If the remote model numbers are the same (I haven't confirmed this yet via stickers inside the battery compartment), will I be able to read the programming from my old remote and program it into the new one? Also, will this take it out of "demo" mode or is it more complicated than that?

I have a cable and the software ready to go. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. LONG LIVE REPLAYTV!

Open up the remote and you'll find that there's a sticker of some sort on the PCB where the device and setup buttons should make contact. Remove this sticker and you should be good to go.

If you are trying to open your case without damaging it, THIS is how you do it. Compliments to the Robman who wrote the excellent guide.

Tommy Tyler sounds like a genius. But I have seen no posts from him in all the time I have been here (1 month Smile

) He must be working on something fantastic to be so busy. Or he is in prison. One of the two.

Hi Tommy, if you are out there.

Thanks for the tip. Funny how "low tech" that modification was!!! Smile

Add another ReplayTV enthusiest to your list. I bought a Replay 4000 series when they first came out. I will never live without ReplayTV again....

With offerings like MyReplayTV.com, Commercial Advance, and emulation software like DVArchive (a ReplayTV server emulation software that allow transferring of shows to your computer's hard drive. It also will allow you to stream the shows back to the ReplayTV unit.) TIVO was not even a consideration at the time. I have not kept up with the PVR wars, perhaps TIVO has caught up feature-wise.
