Like most companies, we don't provide direct access to our engineers or product design team. I was a member of Remote Central for years before I came aboard at URC, and I've always enjoyed maintaining a presence here. I share what information I can, but often I have to draw a line or even simply quit discussing issues that I'm not allowed to share with the public. In this case, I know the issue is being explored. But that's pretty much the limit of what I can say, because I'm not allowed to discuss product plans or development schedules. That's pretty much standard practice for employees of any manufacturer.

Best regards,
Dale

Does anyone have the complete hex codes for SKY + HD I have tried all the database ones but to no luck and have not been able to find any of the Hex codes on the net.
I have also tried to get the Hex codes from the programs on here but most say they are a Database code .

Can some one point me in the right direction

Cheers

I spent some time on this a while ago and documented all the codesets for all 3 Sky Receivers and mapped the functions, then generated clean Hex codes for each button, I have these doc's on my computer somewhere.
After I compiled this info I sent it to URC.
I am not sure what they did with it, the last MX980 I did still didn't have a working 'record' button from the database.

What are you putting the codes into?
Do you have a URC remote?

Hi Sorry to revive this post but I have spent half a day searching, can anyone help with a Hex file for Sky HD? I have tried the codes in the downloads but they don't appear to work.

I need to import them into a Galaxy Note. Cheers

It seems that the Sky+HD (230) pre-programmed codes do not work at all on the stand-alone editors (MX-950 and MX-900 tested). By that I mean no IR or RF signal is transmitted!
I added this device to my MX-950 (and MX-900) using the stand-alone editors and found that the remote does not actually transmit an IR/RF signal!
And before you ask, yes... the device is set to transmit IR and RF.
I added a pre-programmed code to one button and a learned code to another button. I set the device to send RF and IR. Result...
1. Learned code works
2. Pre-programmed code does not
I discovered that the IR eye attached to my MRF-350 was not illuminating when I pressed the (pre-programmed) button (which it should do even if the code is incorrect) so I tried learning the button using a Pronto TSU2000. The Pronto did not detect the pre-programmed code at all but had no issue with detecting the learned code.
It seems that the pre-programmed (230) codes are shooting blanks on the stand-alone editors.
I successfully programmed an MX-980 with the Sky+HD (230) pre-programmed codes using CCP but the MX-950 can't be programmed with CCP.
Perhaps I am missing something(?)
Any thoughts?

Can you post the link for the codes you are using, or are you coming straight out of the db? I know there is a file floating around here: [Link: awe-europe.com] for Sky Codes. It's a TC driver, which you may not have access to. (I am assuming as you are running stand alone, not even CCP).

The reason the stand alone editor doesn't have it is because URC stopped updating them. End of story. The only stand alone editors that are still being given any time are the ones that were not incorporated into CCP like the MX3000.

About a year ago, I finally had to give in and learn the (mostly terribly window over window over pop up) layout of CCP and leave my stand alones behind. I would suggest doing the same, as you will continue to find codes missing from the DB. I just ran into this the other day, but I was using a integra x.1 receiver from YEARS ago, and the stand alone did not have the codes. These times are changing.

I used the original remote to learn the codes (so no link).
I do have a copy of CCP and I can confirm that the URC Sky +HD (230) codes work for the Foxtel IQ2 box in Australia. The box (Pace model 850??) has, however, proven to be a little challenging to set up for my URC remotes - particularly the MX-900 and MX-950. The issue that I have found is that whilst the codes learned with the MX-950 work fine for both RF and IR the experience is not the same with the MX-900. The codes learned with the MX-900 (or imported to the MX-900 from the MX-950 file) work fine with IR but the results with RF are hit and miss. I have tried "tuning" the MRF-350 to reduce IR flooding with mixed results.
Over the weekend, I was programming an MX-980 remote using the CCP software and was pleasantly surprised to find the Sky +HD (230) codes also worked with the Foxtel IQ2 box. They were so reliable that I thought I would reprogram my MX-950 remote from the DB. Problem is that I cannot use CCP to do that. I do however, have stand-alone editors for the MX-900 (which I can also update with CCP) and the MX-950. Both editors still update (last updated only yesterday).
So… perhaps some of the IR database for my stand-alone editors updates… but not all of it(?)
You say that "the only stand alone editors that are still being given any time are the ones that were not incorporated into CCP like the MX3000".
The MX950 is in that category too!
It’s a shame really because the pre-programmed (230) codes are perfect on the MX-980 so I would love to have them on my MX-950.
