Sorry but this forum is for JP1 and other one-for-all type remotes. Your Dish remote is not such a remote, so we can't help you. Try posting at the Dish forum at satelliteguys.us. |

Actually, the way you posted your answers was mentioned in the sticky post as a bad example of how to post them, so I have fixed your original post.
However, like mdavej mentioned, we can only help you here with "One For All" and other UEI remotes. _________________ Rob

Not that I am going to defend the low quality of the original posting but it appears to me that he is trying to control a device called "Polaroid DRA-1601a" using a "sane" remote. Spending a few seconds with the file search reveals that there are configuration files around for that device; according to those, it is a thingy controlled by NEC1-commands... |

What is a "sane" remote? It sounds like he wants to program his Dish remote, which is not a UEI remote.
However, we do indeed have an upgrade for the Polaroid here:

I couldn't figure out what a 'sane' remote was either, but in looking at the Dish remote, I think its a learning remote. So why doesn't he train the dish remote from the original? _________________ Remember to provide feedback to let us know how the problem was solved and share your upgrades.
Tip: When creating an upgrade, always include ALL functions from the oem remote, even if you never plan on assigning them to a button. Complete function lists makes an upgrade more helpful to others.

I expect "sane" is a typo, but I can't guess what it's a typo for. _________________ Rob

OP took my advice and posted at satelliteguys. He has a Dish model 6.4 remote which unfortunately is not learning AFAIK. Newer Dish remotes like the 21.0 are learning. The advice he got over there was to buy a model 21.0 remote and learn. |

Pfft... obviously a "sane" remote is not something you'd find inside of a mental ward wrapped up in a little straight jacket. _________________ Remotes; JP1.2: Comcast URC-1067, JP1.3: Insignia NS-RC02U-10A, JP1.4 OARI06G, JP2.1: Cox URC-8820-MOTO (still trying to figure out how to make them self-aware.) |
