hot, I'll do as you suggest in post 11 and get back with the data, good thinking on the learn / compare idea.

Which waste of money? I think you might mean the 8811 and JP1 cable. If so, I disagree:

It lets you do that experiment I described in post 11, which may lead us to a solution for the MX-500

It can be programmed to generate all these Dreambox signals. That may take a little more JP1 expert help than you'll get today, but not a lot. I or some other JP1 expert will help with that if you ask again later.

It's a really great remote. Once you get used to a good non-display remote, the lack of display stops mattering. You want to look at the TV, not the remote, anyway. So program the 8811 to be yor real remote and get rid of the MX-500.

(Of course if you meant the MX-500 was the waste of money, I agree).

Regarding the scripting problem in JP1 forum:


I failed to notice earlier that Rob replied promptly. He found a problem and applied a correction and asks that you retry and see if it works now.

Hey, I've done what you suggested ( BTW JP1 Forum register is working now ). Learned the Dreambox ON to the 8811 AUX L1 from the Dreambox Remote and it works, then learned the Dreambox ON to the MX-500 from the Dreambox Remote which didn't work, then learned the MX-500 Dreambox ON to the 8811 AUX L2 and downloaded the data into an IR file here,

Any insight would be great! I've also started a thread on JP1 now that I'm reg'ed,
