JP1 Remotes

If anybody has been looking for a URC-1056 (Atlas 5-Device OCAP PVR remote), HERE is a guy selling 40 of them.

Disclaimer: I have no knowledge of this seller nor financial interest in building up his sales. I just like this remote, and figure that the more folks that get one and help troubleshoot the extender, the better off, ultimately, I will be.

I've been looking for a place to get a few of these so I ordered 3 of them. One for me, my mother and one as a spare.

I'm wondering, will my JP1.2/3 cable from Tommy work with this remote or will there be a problem?

The one I have has the contact in chamber 5 completely removed, at least that's what I remember Tommy telling me.

I've been wanting to have one because it reminds me of my old 8810w with it's bigger buttons.

It's a JP1.3 remote, so it should work with your cable.

yes, these work with Tommy's new blinking JP1.2 cable, however you have to either remote pin 5 from the remote or cut wire 5 in the cable. (I chose to cut the wire in mine)

Now he's got a HUNDRED of them!

unclemiltie, when I first got my cable from Tommy, it would not work with my 15-135 without removing pin 5, so I told Tommy this and told me to try it on one with pin 5 intact and cut wire #5 and it worked that way.

Me and Tommy exchanged many emails and found out what the problem was, it was somehow connecting wire 5 all the way even though Tommy cut the wire right at the IDC connector.

He asked me to send it back and try a newer one that had the contact that connects to pin 5 completely removed. And it now works with my 15-135 without pin 5 removed. I have a second 15-135 with pin 5 intact and I no longer have a problem downloading/uploading.

I have tried twice, but can't get him to amswer the question as to whether they are learning...

This guy has changed the listing no less than 9 times, and changed the price 3 times just today. And he can't answer a simple question by looking a the label on any one of his 40 remotes (or 100 depending on what mood he's in)???

But note he has an almost 11000 positive feedback, so he is probably trustworthy...

I just got my 3 remotes now. They shipped via USPS Priority Mail.

Lets see here...

I tried the learning procedure, but it didn't work. Looks like it's not learning-capable.



One more thing, I didn't have to remove pin 5 or cut wire 5 on my cable because Tommy made it fool proof.

Great. Now the backlighting on one of the remotes has stopped working. I wonder why?


EDIT: Never mind about that, I found out how to turn it back on.

Pressing setup twice turns the backlight function on/off. Check your manual.

I just found out how to turn it on/off right as you posted.
