Vision ViewGate Controls for Slingbox

Post by tkydon »

I have been experimenting with my Viewgate Cable Boxes and found that the controls are the same range as the settings for
Cable Boxes, Others, Option 32 on the Slingbox


I I found that the these commands map to the Professional and Prius+ boxes as follows:

Japan
Cable Box (Analog or Digital Cable)
Other (Not In the List)
Code 32

codes map to the ViewGate box as follows:

Japan
Cable Box (Analog or Digital Cable)
Other (Not In the List)
Code 32


codes map to the ViewGate boxes as follows:

Code 32 ViewGate Professional ViewGate Prius+

If your post was a chart of some sort it didn't come out that way in Firefox so I'm not sure what it was.

I don't think we have any access to the Slingbox internal codes so converting an internal code structure (from "Cable box: other: code 32) would involve learning the commands from the Slingbox IR emitters with a JP1 compatible learning remote and creating an upgrade with custom button assignments to produce a .bin file.

At least I think that's what you're looking for.

It could be fairly time consuming and require a lot of trial and error testing, I suspect. It's easy to take an existing upgrade (I didn't see one in the file section) and create .bin files for others, (or modify it yourself in RM) but creating an upgrade from scratch takes more time than I have right now. You may have to go the whole JP1 route yourself unless another JP1 user has the same Viewsat box himself, creates an upgrade and posts it.
Just call me Zaphod (or Steve) --- I never should have started using numbers in a screen name but I just can't stop now.
