This is really aimed at Don, the man from Griffin.
:)
It wouldn't be the first time someone has taken aim at me on these forums. ;)
I seem to recall a I read something about the
IR implementation with the Griffin dongle, but
can not be bothered to read the that BIG thread
again. :$
NO REFUNDS! Oh, wait, that wasn't the question... ;)
Here is the problem.....
My cable box (in the UK) is a Pace DI4001N, supplied
by NTL.
I have taught it the buttons.
Here is the odd thing.
If I then use the dongle as the transmitter, most
times, 85%, the button will not work.
If I use the in built IR port (on an IPAQ 3630)
the button works everytime.
The same is true whether I use CCF mode or the
native mode.
Any ideas??
Yep. I have seen a serious problem in the recent past controlling Scientific Altanta cable boxes, and this has theoretically been addressed and fixed in v2.2.577. I would not be at all surprised if you are experiencing a related problem, so go get the v2.2.577 build, install it over top what you have now, and try again.
This may also be one of those cases where a signal is so "fast" that it is technically impossible to reproduce the signal via the relatively-slow audio port. That is insurmountable. :/
