Sounds like you need to add the Analysis Toolpak (via the Add-Ins menu)

That will be it

Instaled and running now and it seems ot be working.

26.0 gives 26 14 so we'll see how it works,

Thanks

Out of interest, it didn't

I sent the user 2 sets of codes, one using Dreambox 26,0 (as defined by IRSCOPE), and one using DreamBox, 26,14 (as evaluated in the spreadsheet) and it was the 26,0 one that worked.

Any guesses on my part about how DecodeIR is decoding this protocol are just that, guesses. If you post your signal captures, I can see what's really in the signals.

Remind me, what did you break in your remote and/or cable that is stopping you from capturing the signals using your remote?

Is the waveform picture from IRSCOPE OK ?

I kept getting the 'SBA is being held low' message (or something along those lines). I tried the trick of reversing one of the batteries to drop the voltage and that didn't work. But then it got stuck in the startup sequence (all the icons on the display showing) so I threw it away and moved to the Widget.

Doesn't IRScope output a text file with times in it, I'd rather see that.

Did you really throw the remote away? I might have been able to fix it.

Not as ar as I can see, the only output is an ICT file which displays the waveform graphically.

I reckon the postage from the UK to the USA and back would be more than buying a new one

And I actually like the widget.
