hi, i have just received my new Virgin media (uk) scientific atlanta explorer 8300dvb triple tuner cable box. Prior to it's arrival I dowwnloaded the codes into my pronto from the rti library, none of the codes worked! I then learnt the codes directly from the original remote and the codes appear to be RC5 codes unlike the ones I copied from the RTI library. Does this mean there may be discrete codes available? Virgin media who supply the box don't have a clue what discrete codes are, no change there then.
regards mark.
here's the learned power code: 5000 0000 0000 0001 000A 000C

If you know how to use MakeHex, you have RC5 Device 10, Function 12.

ok, i've generated all 128 codes and none give any additional functionality! typical!!

Triple tuner. Now I'm jealous!

yeah............ your reply made me think of the Springsteen track "57 channels, nothings on" it's ok to have a triple tuner DVR, but with nothing worth recording you ask yourself, what's the point?

I don't get it.
I have the Virgin media (uk) scientific atlanta explorer 8300dvb too.
I've been using my pronto to switch it on/off for years.
This is the code in the pronto:
5000 0000 0000 0001 000A 000C
Now I've just bought a USBUIRT and am trying to paste "long" hex codes into eventghost.
As suggested above I am using makehex with rc5.irp and Device 10, so my irp looks like this:
Device=10
Function=0..127
Define T=0

Protocol=RC5
Frequency=36000
Time Base=889 '888.89 = 32 cycles at 36Khz
Message Time=128 '128 times TimeBase
Zero=1,-1
One=-1,1
Prefix=1 'Officially -1,1 but starting with off is silly
First Bit=MSB
Form=;*,~F:1:6,T:1,D:5,F:6

The created .hex file contains this code for function12:
Device Code: 10 Function: 12
0000 0073 0000 000F 0040 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0040 0040 0040 00C0 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0AC4

But this does not work !
I used eventghost/USBUIRT to learn the power on/off button. The learned code is here:

0000 0074 0000 000A 0020 0021 0040 0021 0020 0041 0040 0041 0040 0021 0020 0021 0020 0041 0020 0021 0040 0021 0020 0C90

So what have I done wrong ?
I want the long hex codes for all the buttons.
I know I could just learn all the other codes, but where's the fun in that ?

I don't know why, but the generated Pronto hex you've posted is not RC5.
Here's the correct output from MakeHex:
Device Code: 10 (0x0A) Function: 12 (0x0C)
0000 0073 0000 000A 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0040 0040 0040 0040 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0CC5
You can see that the durations listed are very close to your learned signal.

Your generated Hex is:
0000 0073 0000 000F 0040 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0040 0040 0040 00C0 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0040 0020 0020 0AC4

It is not a recognizable IR protocol.

I recommend using the MakeHex GUI as a frontend to MakeHex.  Probably a good idea to download MakeHex again also in case the irp files are corrupted in some way.

for RC5 codes I use this program, it's simple and easy to use.

Wow ! Quick replys on a three year old thread. Thanks Guys.
I just reran makehex with the same irp file and the output was different- I have no idea why...
Works better this time :-)
