STB IRcodes

From NZTivo

Follow this procedure after you choose any existing Cable Box in Guided Setup, and rebooted. This will upload new IR codes, and replace an exisiting Cable Box codes with ones that work with Motorola, Zenith or GI Sky decoder boxes.


Note: Make sure you download the newer .tcl files from this site, as the older files have not been modified with the different CableBoxCodeNums


Note: If you are on the NZ current emulator this is not necessary as the emulator contains the current oztivo IR slice which already has these models included. If you have a new docoder (Freeview/Other/or VCR) that doesn't work the process is to capture the codes and upload them to the oztivo IR database, the NZ system will download and include the updates with the next oztivo IR slice.


Latest STB .tcl files can be found on the OzTiVo IR Database (registration required): http://minnie.tuhs.org/tivo-bin/irdatabase.cgi


Motorola STBs:
FTP MotorolaDTH325-4.tcl to your Tivo.
cd to the dir where you ftp'd the .tcl file to.

then enter the TiVo shell:

TiVo # tivosh

Then at the TiVo shell run:

% source MotorolaDTH325-4.tcl

% motorolaSky


This is displayed: Finished! Reboot your TiVo for the new codes to take effect. Ignore this for now...
Finding the A/V Source whilst in Tivosh

% mls /

Look at the output and find the value corresponding to the line where 'Setup'. eg 2274, (replace with your value)

Then find the value of Source: % dumpobj 2274

eg this gives: Source = 2274/12

Use your source value in the following line:

% dbset 2274/12 CableBoxCodeNum 30092

Some other parameters to experiment with: (these delays work for my STB, but some might need to use longer delays [in millisecs]; note: by using all 3 digits the STB changes channel quicker - leading zeros will be added for single digit channels):

% dbset 2274/12 TunerDigitDelay 100

% dbset 2274/12 UnattendedTunerDigitDelay 800

% dbset 2274/12 RecieverNumDigits 3

You can check the settings using:

% dumpobj 2274/12

Then get out of the TiVo shell:

% exit

REBOOT your Tivo, after which Tivo should be able to change channels on your Motorola STB.

Zenith STBs:
FTP zenithSky.tcl to your Tivo.
cd to the dir where you ftp'd the .tcl file to.

then enter the TiVo shell: TiVo # tivosh

Then at the TiVo shell run:

% source zenithSky.tcl

% zenithSky

This is displayed: Finished! Reboot your TiVo for the new codes to take effect. Ignore this for now...

% mls /

eg this gives: Source = 2274/12

Use your source value in the following line: % dbset 2274/12 CableBoxCodeNum 30091

Then get out of the TiVo shell: % exit

REBOOT your Tivo, after which Tivo should be able to change channels on your Zenith STB.
