</div>It's worth noting that the database covered by the codeset search in<br>
the script is pretty old. If the cable box is relatively new, it's<br>
possible that it simply won't work with the Zilog blaster. This is<br>
especially an issue with some of the newer low cost DTA boxes.<br>
<br>
But yeah, definitely know what type of cable box it is would help.<br>

Devin<br></blockquote><div><br>Well, I fear the 2 first suggestion will not work. I live in a wonderful city where not a single device is locked (all dvd player or iphone are unlocked), but cable tv is, or kind of.<br><br>
The box has no name except the name of the provide, meaning NowTV in Hong Kong. <br>I found a model number which is "YX-5218A", this on the SD box. But has the remote of the SD box can work on the HD box, i guess code set can be the same.<br>
<br>I also found a file for a Slingbox remote, starting like that:<br><br>Description=YX-5218A
<br>Remote.name=Slingbox with UEI PL Chip
<br>Remote.signature=BINPL
<br>DeviceType=SAT
<br>DeviceIndex=3
<br>SetupCode=1106
<br>Protocol=00 5A
<br>Protocol.name=NEC1
<br>ProtocolParms=64 64 null
<br>FixedData=20 FD FD
<br><a href="http://Function.0.name">Function.0.name</a>=0
<br>Function.0.hex=FF
<br><a href="http://Function.1.name">Function.1.name</a>=1<br><br>Is the codeset the "setupcode" or "ProtocolParms" ? I was planning to give it a try, but again my lirc driver is no more working. Going to try once more to re-install. Spending all my vacations on this :((<br>
