Does anyone have the discrete power on/off IR codes (and all other codes) for the Motorola DCT5100 cable box? (this is the HD box used by Comcast in the DC area and the actual # on bottom of unit is DCT5100/1005 if it matters) Crestron does not include this model in their DB.

BTW: I do not have the Crestron CNXLIR Learner or a Pronto. However, I do have the latest version of Crestron's DEAL for Windows 3.0 (3.00.02). So, I prefer the codes to be ready for Crestron.

Thanks,
Hawkwindeb

This site is heavily Pronto-oriented, and you suggest without actually saying so that you need codes that can work with Crestron.

In the past, my local Crestron office has waived fees for having someone in their office teach the commands to a Crestron IR learner and send us the files, even when they took on a Lexicon remote and totally blew it twice because of the odd way in which the shift commands come up. Did you call Crestron to see if they could create these files for you? All you would have to do is give up your remotes for a couple of weeks, as I did.

What remote control do you actually need this information for? We could send you ccfs, but if you have no way to use them, then you have asked a bad question (for this site's users).

I suggest that you should have downloaded the Motorola files for other cable boxes and tried them out before asking for this information. Did you do that?


After seeing your multiple posts and noticing that these multiple requests for free information are your first visible contacts with this site, I must admit that I feel sort of used. I get the feeling that most of the people who use this site are into remotes, into systems, and want to share and help others. You blasting on the scene with, what, ten requests for information, gives me the image of a new car dealership with a guy out in the parking lot spending hours kicking tires.

Please contribute.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

now, to answer the question...

there are no discrete codes for that POS box.
We can do it my way, or we can do it my way while I yell. The choice is yours.
