Sorry, hadn't noticed we hadn't come up with a solution and we got diverted into a discussion about IRScopr.

Rob/Vicky - Did you ever figure out the details for this box ?

If I remember correctly, this thread was cited in another thread, where we talked about this being an XMP-4 command with all sorts of toggling going on behind the scenes.

I can't find the thread, and I have not had time to relook at the timings to make sure. But xmp-4 is such a huge protocol, that it will be too big to load into a slingbox.

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.

Hello

I have also the same receiver, and what do we need to do in order to use it? Can someone post me the link where i can find the continuation of that discussion?

Thanks

Mike

Hello all,

As of last week, I have the same receiver: Humax iHD FOX C and I can't get any remote of the Slingbox to work the receiver.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bjoern

I have just revisited this weird protocol and have come up with an upgrade that might work.

Here are the Slingbox files:

The original protocol for this device is a mess, there's lots of variation in the signal, even when it's the same button being pressed, so it's really difficult to know what it's trying to do.

Back when we first looked at this, I gave up, but this second time around I came up with a guess as to what it was doing, but I obviously guessed wrong. I don't know what else to try, sorry.

Rob,
thanks for trying. This is not a good sign at all. I don't understand why somebody would create such a complicated protocol for a remote when it really doesn't benefit anybody. it's not like this needs to be a secure device or anything like that...

Perhaps I missed some of the available data, but what I have seen consists of Widget learns from a Harmony. As Rob says, the recorded signals are varying, even in the number of learned burst pairs, for a single function.

I think the most likely explanation is that the data we have is partially wrong. I believe that a Harmony will send the same signal over and over again. But that's not what the available data shows, and it doesn't appear that the Harmony is doing any systematic variation of the signal, like e.g. alternating toggles.

I would like to see learns taken directly from the original remote. If we can't get that, I would like to see a different set of learns from a Harmony, taken with both a Widget and with a UEI remote. Some of the problem may be related to method of learning.

Earl, I think you probably have the equipment to learn from a Harmony with both a Widget and a UEI remote. Are you will to record some signals?

I have the original remote and can provide any help that I can as a newbie to all of this. Just let me know.
