If RTI can't figure out such a basic thing, they need to hire a new programmer. That code has been known for years. If RTI agrees to give me a cut, I'll give them the code. I'm looking at it right now.


My other option is to buy the IR remote so he can read it. There must be more to it because he found other buttons.

Can you share? Or would you mind exchanging emails w/him?

My point is he's getting paid a lot of money, and I'm not getting a penny. Plus he's a pro and should know this very basic thing. If he doesn't, somebody at the gigantic RTI corporation should.

I'll give you a hint. If he is competent, he can figure it out from there. Hint is Mute minus one.

Think of it this way. You go to your doctor and pay him several hundred bucks to fix some medical problem for you. He gets 90% of fixed then throws up his hands. You then find a random stranger off the street who is not a doctor but happens to know how to fix the other 10%. Would you expect that person to donate his knowledge and expertise to your highly compensated doctor?

I'm not trying to be a jerk. I've hooked up thousands of people with codes, many of which required significant time and effort on my part. But I have to draw the line when the recipient makes a huge profit off of my freely donated knowledge and expertise. If they shared with me once in a while, that would be different. But that has never happened in the 20+ years I've been doing this.

Forums are for acquiring & sharing info. Next time you have nada to offer, you should just move on.

Not trying to be a jerk. Thx for the hint.

Code isn’t there. OP would tell you to move on since you have nothing to offer.

And thanks for proving my point that even though pros know and have the codes, they never post them. I guess their time is more valuable than mine.


The point on top of your head? You’re talking to the OP.

Make money off your clients. Nobody is stopping you. But to come online - on a forum no less & pound your chest over your principles... you just look dumb. Again.

Expect more from someone w/15k posts...

@mdavej I really don’t say much about most people‘s post but man, you really went HAM on the OP. This is a forum and you have the knowledge but unwilling to share. I understand your point but it would have been better to not say anything. Pretty crappy thing to do IMHO.

Good luck with your search OP.

Still looking. Being told I need the hex codes for my specific box. My guy has tried codes for other models w/no luck. So again, RTI remote + Arris VIP5662W cable box. Looking for discreet power. Thx...

The box doesn't have discreet power. Its toggle only. Why isn't he writing a variable to track the power state?
