Interesting. The files that bnordman tested (10802, created using the official UEI executor and Manual Settings, and 10811, created using the new Humax entry in protocols.ini) shoot exactly the same signals. Earl captured both from his Slingbox using the OARI06G. So I guess that something went wrong in bnordman's first test.

Regarding BitExpander, that's a newly created Java class for the Humax executor entry in protocols.ini. We have lots of these classes which help in describing and translating unusual executors in protocols.ini. For example, we have the GrundigXlator for the Grundig16 protocol, SonyComboTranslator, XorCheck, BitDoubler, etc. For Humax, we need to convert e.g. OBC=27 = Mute to 0x36 (shift left 1 bit, and append the complement of the lsb), then expand that to 0x3C18 (0011110000011000) which describes the on and off parts of the variable data. A similar translation needs to be done for the fixed data. This could have been implemented instead as HumaxXlator with a simpler argument list, but it seems prudent to make it more flexible. So it can be used to expand other IR signals into zeros and ones which describe off and on.

If Greg/Graham agree, I'll check it into controlremote at SourceForge so that it is availble in the next version of RMIR.
