JP1 Remotes

Any day now I hope to receive a URC 8810w from USA to enable me to try out 'extenders'.

I use a tv device, 'Normende' , for which I don't have an original remote.
No problem with 8060 (Europe) as it has a built-in OFA code (0287) which works reasonably well.

Do you think it will be possible to use the 8810 to learn from the 8060 to enable me to read TV2087 in IR?.

I know I can find out for myself when the new remote arrives but I would welcome the chance to have time to consider the possibilities in advance.

Ron,

I went ahead and created a device and protocol upgrade for TV_0287. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jp1/files/3.%20Device%20Codes/TV/TV-0287-recs80.txt It uses one of the RECS80 variants. You will need to copy both the device and protocol upgrade into you 8810w once it arrives.

Jon - thank you

Another JP1 miracle - The doorbell just rang and my 8810w has arrived - I shall now retire for the remainder of the day whilst I play

Thanks John - as I said I am playing this afternoon and will let you know how I get on.

BTW - I also only speak English - born in London!!! Wink

but have a working knowledge of French and as Normende I think is a product of Thompson probably the key names are in French

Just completed programming the new 8810 - All my UK device upgrades work fine. It does learn from the Kameleon 8060 albeit a little reluctantly compared to an original remote.

Only small problem is with TV 0247, Normende TV. I used your offered file Jon but made different button assignments. I also used some of the commands gleaned from the CCF files from John.

Problem remaining is with the Ch+ and Ch-. I tried every Ch+ and Ch- code suggested in all the 5 files but none of them seem to work. Still searching.

I plan to use and get to feel comfortable with the 8810 over Christmas and then later I hope to try out the extender. Because I have added these Euro upgrades I seem to have used a lot of memory. I am showing 96 free in the Move/Macros and 369 free in the upgrade memory. Of course I have the full 1021 feee in the learns.
Will this be leaving me enough room to add the extender?

Happy Christmas and Best Wishes for the New Year to the Group.

Ron,

Since RESCS80 uses a 6-bit variable byte, there are only 64 possible commands and you have probably tried ~30 already (the known commands from TV_0287 that do something else and the ch+/- commands that didn't work), so it may be easier just to try all remaining OBC's.

There is a possibility that you get into a service mode, do a factory reset etc. So use that suggestion at your own risk Shocked
