If Sling haven't produced a skin you will have to build it yourself.

Hi, thanks for your answer.
Maybe i did not explain well myself, what i'm looking for it's for .bin with all IR commands for T-COM. I don't care about the visual appearance.
Appreciate you help.

Thanks a lot!

Hi!
I tried Pace DCR 8151/24, but it did not work. I need to use Menu key, I have not been able to find any working file for this.

Thanks for your help!

It's no good using the code number, there are dozens of different Custom Remotes out there that use S2013. Where EXACTLY did you get it and what is it ?

Sorry I have tested so many! that I could not remember...

It's DSR7131. As said in previous post all IR but Menu works, I need to use Menu.

Thanks for you help!

But there isn't a Pace DSR 7131 in the download section ?

Look, I am more than happy to help, but you have to help me as well. I need VERY specific details, it's no good referring to a BIN file I cannot access.

Just point me to a BIN file that I can download that is almost working and I can tweak it.

Hi again!

Thanks for doing your best to help me.

It's exactly this one Philips DSR7131-24

It's not from Pace but it works ok for all IR commands but Menu for Pace DSR7151 STB. I need to use Menu key :/

Thanks for your help!!

OK, getting there slowly :-) We now know this device uses the IR Protocol RC6 with a device code of 39, and the Menu button on the Philips DSR/131-24 sends the code 84, so I guess that is wrong.

This is odd, as according to the IR database it definitely should send 84 as the Menu code.

Now I have 6 devices that use the RC6 39 protocol and 5 of them use code 84 for the Menu function. The other one uses code 10. Now on the Philips DSR7131-24 that is mapped to the 'Last Channel' button. I don't suppose that operates the Menu does it ?

If it doesn't we are going to have to resort to trial and error and find which of the 255 codes it should use.

Hi !

Yes we are getting there, thanks a lot!

Last channel did not work.

How can I check all IR commands one by one ir order to find the one corresponding with Menu?

And after that how to add...?

Ok step by step

thanks!!!!

Butting in here with a signal hint. forumcha22 make sure to press buttons 2 times in a row to make sure they don't work. The RC6 is a toggling protocol, which means that each button press alternates the code being sent out. I had one OEM RC5 remote that used a different toggle state for the menu keys, from the rest of the keys, so the toggle bit would get out of synch on a universal remote.

I hate toggling protocols, and have gotten rid of all my RC5 equipment, for just that reason. The buttons would not always work, making automation impossible, as well as confusing and angering my DH when the TV wouldn't respond to the first press of some buttons, and he wouldn't notice, because he looks at the remote instead of the screen and then when odd things would happen, he'd blame me!
