A couple of 6131 issues

Post by DallasTivo »

I have a modified 6131 that I want to use to control my Samsung DirecTivo, Toshiba TV and Phillips reciever. The TV works fine with the built in code. I have a couple of problems with the Tivo and the reciever.

On the Tivo, I have it set up with DVR/0618, but the guide button seems to be functioing as the live tv button, and I can't figure out how to get the guide.

The receiver is a Phillips FR 968. The built in codes didn't work well (couldn't select Sat input) so I used IR and a KM device file I found on Yahoo. I can now set up the inputs, but it seems like I can't map some of the buttons. I have all the buttons defined on the 'buttons' tab of KM, but when I paste the device code into IR, many of the buttons show up as [Not Mapped] on the device page. Obviously these buttons don't work on the remote.

Am I doing something wrong, or are these buttons disabled for some reason? Would my life be easier if I just load the 6131 extender?

The EFCs for TiVos can be found at http://www.hifi-remote.com/cgi-bin2/ueic.cgi?PVR_0618

You'll want to use the code for Guide on the Guide button (instead of the default Live TV code), and you'll probably also want to use the code for Display on the Info button. I also find the List code to be useful, which I put on the PVR Menu button, but you could use some other buttonl

Greg, thanks for the link to the codes. Can I enter these as keymoves in IR, or do I need to create an upgrade code for a new device?
