Does the USB-UIRT support IrDa-like STBs e.g. the Pace D1000T, Pace DI1010T as used by Telewest in the UK? I'm looking for something to drive one of these from my PC and the USB-UIRT seems to be about the widest supported software-wise. I just want to confirm it'd work with my cable box.
My alternative is the RedRat, which definitely supports these IrDa signals but is much more expensive than the USB-UIRT, and isn't as widely used or supported.

Sorry but I cannot give you a definitive answer on this. If they use true IrDA signalling then the answer is currently 'no'. The USB-UIRT has (in hardware) such capability, but has not been developed.
Do you have any Pronto codes for these STB's?

Hi Jon, thanks for the quick response.
After a quick Google it seems that the Pronto might work with the series 4000 Telewest/Pace STB but doesn't work with the series 1000 or 2000 - and I'm not completely sure what revision I have. I'll need to check when I get home.
If it turns out that I have a 4000, and that that could be controlled by a Pronto, would that mean that the USB-UIRT could control it ok too?
Cheers

It's a series 4000, which supports RC5 codes as well as IrDa (is that right?). Does that help?by jrhees » Wed Aug 04, 2004 3:00 am
This page at remotecentral.com http://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/fi ... blebox&fc=
lists some pace STB's -- some of them claim to be Pronto setups for STB's *without* the redeye translator. The codes from these files have a good possibility of working.

I've got a Pace D4000N as part of NTL TV/Internet package and I wondered if anybody had their D4000N to work with SageTV?
Or are you controlling the STB with something other than SageTV?
I just want the channel change facility.
Looks like 4 options for me:
1USB-UIRT
2 red eye (http://www.redremote.co.uk/)
3 redrat - more expensive
4 Give up and buy a freeview box of some type (fewer channels more money)
Thanks in advance for any comments
