Optibox Evo E3Hd

Hello everyone!

I've been trying to install remote for the set up box OPTIBOX model EVO E3Hd on my slinbox 500. I already tried several remotes but no success.

I also have a harmony ultimate remote, and on the setup webpage (setup.myharmony.com) I can find the OPTIBOX EVO M7 device (that apparently uses the same remote as the E3Hd)

The problem is that I have no idea how to take out the file/code from the harmony. Does anyone know how to extract the code from the harmony remote to upload it on the sling box?

Thank you very much in advance! Cheers, Mario.

Yes me :D You can't do it directly, I just use it to 'mimic' the actual remote.

Here's the resulting BIN file.

And be aware that there is a bug in the 500 with installing remotes. You MUST reset all 3 inputs before you install a new remote. If any of the inputs are configured then any attempt to change one of the inputs will fail. After installing the new one you then have to reinstall the other inputs. My last post at http://answers.slingbox.com/thread/26433?tstart=0 explains it.

Dear Alan!

Thank you so much!!!! You did it!!!!

I've just did a fast test, and it seems to be working! (or at least I can change channel that was all I wanted)

Thank you so much for your prompt help. I wish I could pay you back the favor you just did to me (us).

Cheers Mate!

Good, glad I could help. And thanks for the swift feedback, much appreciated (As of now I have 12 Custom Remotes I built for people who have not provided any feedback, let alone thanks) :D
