Rubbish If I logged onto your account and built the device by teaching my Harmony then you can download it to yours. I suspect Logitech assume people do not share accounts. Unfortunately, while I have a Harmony I don't have a JP1 remote. We need someone who has both.

If she has a Logitech Harmony 300 then I could do it. But, you cannot exchange remote profiles between different models. That needs to be facilitated by a Logitech Technical Support staff. If you'd like me to upload my remote profile into your account, czmel, then email me your Harmony account credentials.

However, I think you're better off getting opening up a ticket with the Harmony Technical Support and emailing the Pronto codes. This will make the commands on the respective profile available on your account.

P.s., Alan your Slingboxes have JP1 remotes built into it.

Here's another file of pronto hex, this one has the button names listed

True, I think they are.

Rest of the codes are here:

So, I added a device and created a power button mapped to this pronto code. But unofrtunately it didn't work when I tried to turn the TV off or on. Not sure if this is something related to harmony or could it mean that the rmhu file I have is not compatible. I can tell you that when it analyzed the hex code, it accepted it and returned the following:
Analyzed Key Code G:Toshiba 32 Bit:(0x009F08F7)(Repeat)():3

The Harmony remote I have is the 880. Also, given the issue I had with the hex code, does this mean it won't work?

Assuming that neither of us made any mistakes, that implies that the VisionQuest LVQ-26HLD uses a different codeset to the LVQ-19HLD. Let me ask UEI if they have it in their database.

Actually you can, I have done it quite a few times. You lose button customisation but that is easily rebuilt.

How does that help ? Until that rmdu file is validated I think we are stuck ?

I dunno that was in response to you not having a JP1 remote. It is possible reconfigure the rmdu for a Slingbox, upload the bin then learn the signals with one of your Harmony remotes. It would any different than what you do in the reverse for other people.

According to Alan it can but haven't been able to do it before. If you are willing to give it a try, send me your Harmony login credentials via personal message.

Thanks again. Let me know. I was hoping to get lucky and have the LVQ-19HLD work for me. If thatd oesn't not sure what I can do. I even tried giving my remote for repair, but it was not repairable. Searched the web and I could not even find the remote used or compatible with any Universal remote. Its absolutely crazy. EVen the manufacture doesn't make it anymore.

I was really surprised that the LVQ-19hld wouldn't handle the LVQ-26hld, but from what you posted, that was not the correct code, either that or its the TV that is the problem. Usually when the size is the only difference in the model numbers, the remotes are interchangeable.

Perhaps VisionQuest can give you the technical specifications for the signal. We can work from specs too.

Looking at a couple of manuals from each line, Picasso in the case of the 26 and Renoir in the case of the 19, it appears they each use completely different remotes, likely different codes as well.

I couldn't find a manual for the 26, but found one for another Picasso model. Unfortunately none have any technical details about the codes.

Just FYI, I heard back from UEI and they haven't seen this model either. I have just written to VisonQuest requesting info, so let's see if they're willing to help. Here's their phone number, in case anyone wants to try calling them instead: 1-800-892-6373

They were challenging to deal with. Not the most service oriented company. The remote only has a 1 month warranty and they didn't care much to say the least.

I do see that. I did look at the pdf for the 19" and they do also refer to is as a Picasso. So not sure what that all means and if the remotes are different.

Thanks for looking into that. I wouldn't be surprised if you don't hear back from Visionquest. Their support is lacking. I also emailed them and never got a response and could only reach them by phone and they were not very cooperative with me. Perhaps someone out there would have better luck.

Just a little heads up. I've download the RMDU file and programmed it into one of my JP1 remotes. Using the Harmony 300, I connected to the web configuration application which had me teach "Power On/Off", "1", and "Volume Up" and now I'm waiting for the results while it searches. I'm assuming its looking for a compatible match on the Logitech Harmony Database.

Okay, I don't know if anyone cares about this anymore but here's what happened....

Some how during the process of trying to teach the codes into czemel's account, my harmony remote either got bricked or locked out. When I tried to resync it back to my account, my account got locked out or corrupted. The error message I get now is when using my account or the old remote is "Sever error. Please sign in again to continue. We have created an error report that you can send to us. We will treat this report as confidential. [] Send error report to Logitech." Yay!

I'm going to have to deal with Logitech to find out what to do about it.

Anyways, I bought a brand new Harmony 300i remote. Ewww. It's has that glossy finish that wants to soak up all your oily fingerprints. I went ahead and taught the JP1 profile for the VisionQuest LVQ-19HLD from my Comcast URC-1067. It took a few tries and re-verifications but he now has the device profile in his account.

Mind you. He had to create a new account because apparently, the Harmony 200/300(i) that I own uses a web configuration tool on http://www.myharmony.com, where his Harmony 880 uses a hybrid of local and web software from http://members.harmonyremote.com

Anyways, I'm not sure what he's going to do at this point. I figured Alan Richey can help him from here since he insists that the remotes can swap device profiles.
