Well it hasn't been tested on the actual device, but the at least now, when we fill in the variables we get from the Thomson, the signal shoots what we expect.

I thought it was just a sling problem, but it was a problem for all the remotes too.
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.

Hey there,

Sorry for taking so long checking back here, I'm real busy with school stuff. And thanks to Rob for drawing my attention. And of course thanks to all of you guys for all the effort, it's really awesome. :)

Unfortunately it still doesn't seem to be working. I put the new files in place, put the code in, but nothing... no response, none of the buttons seem to work. :|

Pity. Not sure where we go from here. I assume you did all the checks I suggested ?

This could be dependent on the Slingbox RDFs. The Thomson uses 004B. Two of the RDF's had 004B built in, and the RDF's had the wrong version (variant 7), but were reporting variant 1. So if this was a PK or an RV slingbox, the data being sent is the wrong information.

So it could be just an RDF issue that would have been corrected by the RDF's that I had loaded up to the development area ealier this week.

OK, I have rebuilt the BIN files using your RDFs.

Let's see if that works.
