Dish USB-UIRT IR codes for controlling multiple tuners
Quick post to help others trying to get multiple Dish tuners to work with sagetv. I searched the posts and downloaded at least a dozen codes. I found several that would work on IR-1 but nothing with SELECT that would work on IR-2. Here are my codes in case it helps someone else:
Additional info on my setup: 1 USB-UIRT 2 Dish ViP211K HD solo tuners 2 HD-PVRs 1 internal OTA ATSC tuner I left first Dish box/remote on the Default IR-1 codes Set second Dish box/remote to IR-2 codes Set both to use the prefix SELECT prior to tuning a channel to wake the Dish box up if it has been idle. Read lots of posts that suggested more involved methods to make sure the box is able tune channels after/during a nightly firmware update. Simply adding the prefix works 100% of the time for me and most others. My understanding is Dish pushes out a firmware update nightly at 3am and if you are trying to record a show at 3:00 AM it may fail as there is a dialog box up about the update. I think SELECT (ENTER) should clear that too prior to tuning a channel... I don’t know if my system has ever tried to record a show at that time of the night since changing to Dish. If you have a 3rd, 4th, or more boxes you can record your own codes. Simply set the box and remote to IR-3 and use the sagetv interface to record 0-9 and SELECT. NOTE *** I found I had to have the DISH remote 1 inch from the USB-UIRT for it to record the IR codes properly. I suspect the USB-UIRT was seeing “back chatter” IR signals from the DISH boxes. I think the IR communications are possibly two way so putting the remote 1 inch from the USB-UIRT blocked the USB-UIRT from seeing anything but the codes I was trying to get it to learn. System works great. Hope this helps someone else get theirs setup easier. |
