Looking for FAQ on Multiple RpTV 5xxx Units & One JP1 Re
Posted: Sun Nov 30, 2008 5:20 pm
Robman, et al,
Please forgive me, but I can't find an FAQ or a guide for controlling multiple ReplayTV 5000 series units with a single JP1 remote (not the original RpTV remote). I've owned several RpTV units for many years, but only today placed a second RpTV 5000 at the same location as another RpTV unit. I need to control each discretely with my 8910 remotes. I've read a number of FAQs and guides (ex: "How to Control Multiple Replays in the Same Location - AVSForum 2003) but they either speak in terms of 4000 series or older, or talk about setting Remote Lockout Code or Remote Machine Code, which I don't see how that plays into JP1. None of my RpTV units use IR blaster, so adding codes to control other equipment (cable box, STB, satellite box, etc.) is not a issue for me.
Could someone kindly point me to an FAQ or a guide addresses controlling multiple RpTV units from a single JP1 remote?
Oh... and since the mother-in-law can't remember how to run any of my 8910s, I'll also need to either hide all the original RpTV remotes, or figure out how to mod them to handle this situation too, but that is a much less important issue than getting the 8910 working with two units in one location.
TIA
