Has anyone experience problems with the Hughes Sat. boxes when using RTI remote IR for communication.

Problem description: When issuing command such as channel down it will change the channel twice. When turning the unit off and on sometimes it will go off and sometimes it will not.

On thought is the lighting in the room maybe interfering. It seems to work better when lights are reduced.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks

Select the finger pointing tool (AKA Edit Button properties) click on the offending button, click on the "infrared" tab, Change the number of repeats to "1" or if necessary to "0"

Enjoy

I have already tried this but thanks for the input.

Did your learn the codes yourself? Or are they off the factory list?

If they are learned, then re-learn the codes in a dark room, as they may be corrupt.

Are you using an IR repeater system? If for example you are using a Xantech setup with a dinky link, does the dinky link or blink emitters flicker dimly all by themselves without using any remotes?

Are your commands being issued as macros? If so, change the order so that the commands that skip are last in line. Further, the same should be true of your power commands.

Yes, I ran into the same issue and was able to do it.
1. Hughes DSS remotes somehow throw 2 IR info every time you press the CH+ or CH-.
2. When learning this IR's from the Hughes, press the button on the remote that you want to learn away from the learning window then rapidly press it again and now this time put it in front of the learning device.

In other words, you want to learn the second info, not the first one. It worked for me. Let me know how it goes.

Could this be the old RC5 toggle code thing ? In other words the remote toggles between two IR codes for each button press ? You get around this by using the Toggle macro command and including both the Normal and toggle codes within in it.

For each of my devices I have now generated a full set of clean IR codes using the various pronto tools available, rather than learn IR codes from the original remote. You only have to look at the decoded hex from learned IR to see how much it varies from one "learn" to the next, especially when the T2 is doing the learning. Generating clean codes is a very time consuming exercise, but it has improved the reliability of remote controlling my devices with the T2 immeasurably. For RC5 devices you have to generate two codes for each function !

There are only a handful of programmable remotes which correctly handle RC5 codes transparently. This amazes me when you realise the number of RC5 devices around.
