JP1 Remotes

i need the philips orbit xd 300 codes please .
thankyou.

You didn't say what remote you use. You should follow the template in this sticky for these kind of questions.

In the mean time see if any of these codes are in your remote that may work the orbit. 0722, 0724 , 0749 , 1076 , 1142 , 1442 , 1749

1. Device: philips xd 300
2. Type of device: satellite receiver
3. Year: 2001-2002
4. JP1 Remote model: slingbox
5. JP1 user? no
6. Still have original remote? yes
7. Checked the file section? yes
8. Checked Pronto file section (at R/C)? yes
9. Partially working setup code? no
10. Learning remote question? no

Ahh.. Its for sling. It seems the sling has S1142 and S1442 build in. Did you try those? Also the 1076 is in the file section here under satellite. That may work if neither of those 2 do.

unfortunately none of those work

Hmmm.. Then you may be stuck waiting for someone with that unit and uses jp1 or pronto to learn the oem remote. And then hope they upload what they learned either here, or in pronto section if it is for the pronto when they learn.

i've just ordered the (URC 8910 Universal Remote Control ) from amazon , so can i use this remote to get the philips receiver code to my computer ?

Yes that is a good learning remote.
You will need to read this tutorial for use with rm.

And you will need a jp1 cable. These guys sell them And diygadget sell them. You can build one if you have the items and time needed. Ofcourse you can also buy from anyone else that sell them such as on eBay.

i found a shop that sells JP1 USB Cable , is it better than the Parallel port JP1 cable ?

Opinions are like armpits (i.e. everyone has a couple, and most of them stink) BUT ...

I have never had a USB JP1 cable, but read about lots of challenges with drivers, etc. here, whilst my simple parallel cable has worked fine for over three years, so, particularly if you have a parallel port, the parallel cable is cheaper, and seems to have fewer problems with setup (although that last claim by me is merely anecdotal, and may not be supported by facts).
