IR Code for Slingbox to collsat sat receiver
Posted: Fri Jan 27, 2006 12:12 pm
Need help to find a way to get my slingbox to control my FTA receiver ( coolsat 4000 Pro )
Do you know what kind of SlingBox you have?First off, you should know whether you have a JU or PL Slingbox. You can figure this out either by looking at your serial number of by checking which version of the IR Blaster you have:
Serial numbers starting with 505 are JU boxes
Serial numbers starting with 507 or higher are PL boxes
Serial numbers starting with 506 could be either, so check the blaster version
To check the IR Blaster version, launch SlingPlayer from your home PC (ie, from a PC on the same network as the Slingbox), then:
View > Slingbox Directory
Edit Properties
Select the Information tab
Scroll down to find the IR Blaster version
2.0 = JU
2.1 = PL
Have you done all of the above? Has it all seemingly worked? If not, at what step have you had a failure of some sort?Download the RM program from the Tools folder.
Download the RDF zip file, and either unzip all of the contents or just unzip the two Slingbox RDFs.
Read this document that describes how to use RM.
Locate an upgrade file for your device from the JP1 file section.
Download the file and open it using RM.
Change the remote to the Slingbox - PL version (or to the JU version of you have the older Slingbox model).
Re-arrange the buttons in the Buttons tab as you see fit.
Go back to the setup tab and check what the Device Type and Setup Code are (you can change them if you like).
Have you done this? I am guessing, but it MAY be that you haven't read/done this.Select "Advanced" menu option, then select "Export Binary Upgrade". This will give you a windows pop-up screen where you can select where you want to save the binary file, you should navigate to the SBAV folder in your Sling Player directory and save it there.
Have you done this? If not why not, or what is the problem in doing so?Open the SABV.cfg file, which can be found in your Sling Player directory, using Notepad or another text editor.
Save a backup copy of it !!!
Find the appropiate section (eg, [SATELLITE.Codes] )
Add an entry like this: Your Device=S1011
