Need help creating upgrade for URC-8011 for UK SKY digibox

[johnsfine]

Have tried the new RC-M-20n in a RM file I had already set up in anticipation.

Can confirm it works equally well for a Sky Digibox in RM as the one I made earlier with the manual protocol in KM

When you first said that I had no idea you were talking about an 8060. For an 8060, RM should create exactly the same device upgrade (and no protocol upgrade) as KM created. It is only on remotes without built-in pid 0020 that the RM upgrade is different and better and needed testing.

Haven't had time to try RM yet but might use this as an excuse to learn it.

4) Both Replay and Sky "misuse" RC6 by never toggling the toggle bit (T is always zero).

5) Replay never varies the top two bits of the OBC, by Sky does.

Those statements acurately describe the Replay/RC6a protocol. (Just FYI, we never tested whether Replay (or Sky) would care if the toggle bit were actually toggled though).

After doing the RC6-6-32 protocol that supported both the correct and the broken MS toggle, I was curious about this. So I made a 740 Replay protocol that always sent the signal with the toggle bit flipped (T=1 according to DecodeIR.Dll). Neither of my replays (one 2004 and one 5040) responded to any signal from the remote with the toggle bit flipped. (I tried all the keys )

Then I tried sending one T=0 signal (from a different remote) followed by the same signal with T=1. The T=1 signal was ignored here as well. (I didn't try every key, but I tried a lot of them). So I think we can safely say that ReplayTV units won't except a signal with the toggle bit set.

Also, the 740 Replay protocol has a slight timing bug which was causing erroneous repeats on my 5040 (but not on my 2004 strangely enough). I'm going to test a fixed version which will hopefully be ready soon. I guess I should post it in the Software section?

Check this one out; I wrote it to use the same fixed data as the S3C8 version, and it's been working great on my Replay. Smaller too.
