JP1 Remotes

Hi Rob.

The remotes I ordered in march are working great, I can't believe how flexible they are, I want more.

How many 6131 and 8811 can I combine for $9 shipping to Sweden(Europe)?

Do you still have JP1 cables?

Thanks
Joni Borén.

I think that combo will fit, I'll check it later. The cables are $15, so your total would be $134. If you need to pay by credit card through Paypal, the surcharge on that would be $6 bringing the total to $140.

Rob, I have a 9911 that I have working very nicely, unfortunately the back panel is busted, so tape is currently holding it on. I would like to get a replacement, but cannot find one in London, Ontario. I would like to get a 8811 to replace this (I don't care about the LCD at all), could you email me to let me know that you still have one.

I would second John's recommendation that you get a URC-8811 ($20) and a JP1 cable ($15). Postage to Canada will be $4.

Now, just so you understand, the remote will not be ready to work all of your devices out of the box, the expectation is that you would use the remote's learning feature to capture the signals from your devices and then use the JP1 tools to create upgrades for them (unless, of course, if we have upgrades for any of them already that you can use).

I need to buy some replacement remotes (I have RCU-810s that I modified myself) and would rather buy them already modified instead of doing it myself.

My 810's reset themselves regularly (clock resets, backlight stops working, etc). Do the new ones still have this issue? or should I consider changing to the 8811? They seem like similar remotes - are they?

In general, I've been pretty happy with the 810, but is the 8811 generally regarded as better or worse? Mostly controlling a Tivo, stereo, TVs, satellite, etc so I assume either would do a sufficient job (nothing too unusual).

Thanks!

I've never seen the RCU810 reset problem myself, so I can't say for certain whether the units that I have have this problem or not (these are new units that haven't been used), but none of the previous people who bought them mentioned having the problem, so you're probably safe.

For your current units that do have the reset problem, there is a way to fix it. All you need to do is jumper pin 1 to pin 5 (on the JP1 6-pin).

You can get the full details here...

As for comparing the RCU810 to the URC-8811, the URC-8811 is a popular remote and can do everything the RCU810 can do, but it doesn't have an LCD screen and the layout of the buttons is completely different to the RCU810, so if you're already used to the RCU810 you might as well stick with it as it can also do everything that the URC-8811 can do (when JP1 enabled).

I think I have 3 or 4 RCU810s left, my price is $20 without the mod or $30 with the mod.

I've just received some more remotes to offer for sale, including the URC-8910 (with arrow keys), URC-6960 (Kameleon and URC-9960 (Kameleon). I will be modifying the Kameleons so they are JP1 ready for you.

Rob:

Are you going to be getting in and modifying any of the Kameleon 9964's? I'm not sure I will need the RF functionality, but I figured better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

I'm trying to run a

Toshiba Theaterview TV
Scientific Atlanta DVR Cable Box
JVC Amplifier
LG VCR/DVD Combo Recorder

Also is the Kameleon a good choice for this setup, or would there be something better to look at? My old 8080B01 is pretty banged and scraped, so I'm thinking it might be time for something new, and the Kameleon's looks are pretty nice.

I don't have any immediate plans to get any of the RF Kameleons in stock.

Rob,

How much for the 9960, modified, or unmodified?

I currently have:

Toshiba TV (not HD)
Sony DVD/VCR SLV-D560P combo
Pioneer DSX608 Receiver

Is the 9960 a good solution for controlling these devices?
