I have a Hughes GXCEBOTD sat box. Does anybody knows the IR code for this box with replaytv 5000, any specific code that works with this model.

There were new codes recently added for hughes boxes. 7470 and 7470A for the GAEBO. And, for GCEBO, code 7471.

I uses 7470A for my GAEBOA and my IR Blaster. Works fine, although the IR Blaster keeps falling off the front of the box.

but does these codes works for Hughes GXCEBOTD sat box.

No the GXCEBOT is a TiVo. Those others are standard Hughes DirecTV receivers. I don't think any TiVo code will be found in the ReplayTV code base. The GXCEBOT is the same code as a Philips or TiVo brand TiVo.

No Harry I mean to say a ReplayTV will not control a TiVo. The GXCEBOT uses the same code as a Philips TiVo not a standard Philips DirecTV receiver.

I have the Hughes GCEB0 receiver and use the serial cable connect instead of the IR. I find it to be much more reliable.

I just hooked up my RCA DRD420RE last night with serial and it's a LOT better than IR control. Unfortunately the serial cable is about 3 inches long. Anyone know where to get a longer one?

 

[Chris Gerhard]

Yes using a serial cable with a standard Hughes DirecTV receiver will be better than the IR control for most. The topic of this thread concerns the GXCEBOT, a combo DirecTV Receiver with TiVo. No serial cable control and no IR control is available, to the best of my knowledge, to allow a ReplayTV to control a TiVo.

Rugby...since you asked her, I'll answer here. The adapter that goes from 9pin to RJH is 3 inches long. You can pickup a cable at radio shack to extend it...

I have a Hughes HIRD-E86 DirecTV/HD receiver. Will one of those codes work for it? Will it tune to sub-channels like 7-1?


Thanks,


Tim

Thanks for answering the question, is it simply a serial extension cable? I have one (somewhere in a computer parts box around here). Would that work, or is it something else I need to look for?
