Re: Remote Control

I have checked my friends STB and he has the same model as me, which is the DITV 1000. He uses the same remote as the one pictured on the ebay auction ( D1004).

So I have ansered my own question on this topic but I would like to say thanks for all the input you have gave me.

Many regards

Pablo

The Pace 1000, 1000b and 2000 boxes only understand a non-standard remote protocol. The remote controls for these boxes are dark grey, and are either a long thin control (with a glow-in-the-dark OK button), or a grey "new style" remote. Most remote senders do not work with these remote controls. The Red-Eye system is available for translating ordinary infra-red signals into the odd protocol that these boxes use.

All other boxes, that is, the Pace 4001, 4010, 4000* and Samsung 2100 can use standard infra-red frequencies. The remotes used for these are blue, and come in two varieties. They can be used with regular remote senders.

I hope that makes things a bit clearer.


* Before someone points it out, black remotes are currently given out as standard with Pace 4000 boxes. They do support the use of blue remotes, however.
There are two new style remotes and as you can see, both styles will work with the item i wish to purchase.
