How
to capture STB IR codes
In
order to capture STB codes for TiVo you need to own a Pronto (or
similar Marantz remote) that allows you to learn the remote codes
from the Set Top Box, and then export the learned codes as a CCF
file.
Only
the numeric digits zero to nine are needed - the enter, select,
or power codes are not used / needed. It is recommended that each
digit is captured twice in case one capture has an error. I have
created a CCF file which can be downloaded and used by your Pronto
when capturing STB codes. This contains a single panel which has
two keypads (so each digit can be learned twice), and also space
to enter the manufacturer and model number of the STB. The CCF
file can be downloaded here
(ZIP file 2KB).
Once
you have captured the STB codes, simply send the CCF file to me
and I'll get the data to TiVo:

Omniremote V2.x users: I am told that you can obtain Pronto
format codes by using the "Export to memo pad" option
after capturing a remote. Version 1.x does not have this feature.
If
you can supply Pronto codes and are willing to help others by
meeting up with them to capture their STB codes (even if the area
you are in is already listed as covered) then please contact me:
