JP1 Remotes

Thank you, that works, RemoteMaster will at least deal with it.

Now I just have to figure out why IR won't take it ("The Fav/Scan list contains too many entries. The list will be truncated").

I just purchased a MCE remote control for my PC, since I'm finally moving into the 20th century. (Previously I was using an irman.)

I'd like to use the existing device upgrade with my Atlas remote control (JP1.2), however, when I use RemoteMaster 1.77, I get this message:
The selected protocol ...

This is strange... did you select the correct COM port?

If you're referring to me, then yes, I did try all COM ports. I ran the tester program mentioned earlier in this thread, and it didn't pick up the remote (although for some reason, the cable light would blink as if it was working). When ...

I purchased a JP1.2 cable from DIY Gadget, received it tonight.

It won't work on the serial port of my Dell Inspiron 600m with Windows XP Professional, but it does work if I use my USB to serial adaptor (a Keyspan USA-19QW) instead (on the same laptop). Go figure.

We also need to update KM and RM so that you can use them to create upgrades.

Rob,

If there's any ...

I just joined the forum today, although I have done a little lurking in the past. I don't own a JP1.2 compatible remote, although I am considering purchasing one (URC-10820).

I've taken a quick look at the datasheet, and have posted my comments to some points below. Normally I'm given a clean slate ...

At the moment, I'm using an unmodified URC-6131 to control my MythTV machine (Linux-based PVR) using the VCR code 0081.

The 6131 is a decent remote, but I'm liking the look of the URC-10820, it looks more "sexy" to me than the 6131. I'd probably never use half of the functions of it, but it looks ...
