hello

I'm using OminiRemote to setup a glorified universal remote and I was wondering if the 721 used discrete IR codes. I'm hoping to find a separate IR code for On & Off. If anybody could help me out with that I'd appreciate it.


This site is great. I'd like to thank all the people that put the effort into it.

-thanks

meh.. My searching skills are pretty weak at the moment.
To answer my own question, I'd like to refer myself to the following thread.

I'm hoping discrete codes make into a SW update. The "sysinfo+power+power" hack doesn't sound very reliable.

E* has always been notoiously bad about providing discrete IR codes with any of their receivers, so I wouldn't count on them ever being offered for the 721.

I use a philips pronto, and have given up on the workaround that you mention. It just wasn't reliable for me.

Mark, do you keep the 721 on, or do you manually toggle the power if the 721 isn't on?

Discrete codes found for PVR501:

They work on my 501. Give them a try with your 721.

Larry - I don't have a 721, but with my 501, I toggle to power on and off.

Thanks for the link, Andrea. [Rest of my erroneous statement deleted]

Edit: OMG...just looked at the link. Now I really want to go home to try the new discrete codes out! Wow!
