1. Device: Limesat Ultra
2. Type of device: Satellite Receiver
3. Year: 2010
4. JP1/UEI Remote model: ReplayTV
5. Do you have a JP1 cable? Yes
6. Still have original remote? Yes
7. Checked the file section? Yes nothing found
8. Checked Pronto file section (at R/C)? Yes
9. Partially working setup code? yes
10. Learning remote question? no


I had this problem before when I made a rid file for the KBox Prodigy. Now I'm having it with the Limesat Ultra. I found a Remote Master file (rmdu) that is for a slingbox but I think the codes will be the same.

Here is the previous thread:
http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11810

Here is the prob:

The Limesat is supposed to be Device 2, Sub-Device 2. When I open the RID file and choose DecodeIR, the sub-device doesn't decode. I can put sub-device 2 in the box and re-save the file but it doesn't matter, when I re-open the RID file and reselect DecodeIR, no sub-device.

I know Rob worked some magic on my Kbox file and made the sub-device stick and the file work correctly. Any chance of recreating that magic on this file?

Here is the Remote Master file I was working from:

thanks much!

The Slingbox files that you posted appear to be for the Eurovox Max V 2008 and are a copy of these files:

How do you know that they'll work with the Limesat?

Anyway, as I described before, RIDGen doesn't handle NEC1 sub-devices correctly, so you have to change the binary manually.

If you get a binary string like this...
=01000000101111110000100011110111+

You need to change it like this...
=01000000010000000000100011110111+

I noticed that name too after I dl'ed that file. But I compared the values to what my learning remote gave when i learned them and they matched. And the learned remote works!

I had messed with the string a little and got the device to stick at 2 on one version of the rid i made using that exact string but i had not copied the string to every number, I had only done 0 and that made RidGen report it as device 2 so I stopped.

Anyway... I just changed that string in all the numbers and DecodeIR does show device 2 now. Unfortunately, it still won't change channels on the ReplayTV. I checked the blaster with a video camera so I know it is sending a code.

I am going to redo the whole process because I could have messed up when changing those binaries.

Can you think of anything else that I could try to get it to work?

Could you create a RID file and load it up, then I'll fix it.

ok Robman thanks!

I uploaded it here:

http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=8662


That is the original one that doesn't define the sub-device.

I appreciate you man!

I loaded your file into RIDGen, then I replaced the first 16 bits (as shown in the first line above) with the 16 bits from the 2nd line above and re-saved it. I have replaced your file, so re-download it and give it a try.

Interesting stuff... I loaded that RID onto the Replay and it would not change channels.

I decided to try a lower and unique number. I loaded your file and re-saved it as S0004fi.rid. Then loaded that on to the ReplayTV and SUCCESS! Very Happy

You've done it again Robman, thanks so much! I am still using the OFA remote that you custom programmed for the ReplayTV. It was one of the best purchases I ever made.

It occurred to me that I didn't reboot the replay after loading the first RID file. So after after a reboot, I reloaded the original file you posted which works perfectly, no need to change the number after all. Sorry about the mis-information.

Again thanks so much!
