SKYTV NZ get GBPVR to change channels?

[wedgie]

can you get GBPVR to change the channels on the skyNZ set top decoder.
i think this involves an ir blaster but i beats me any knows how to do it?
i have an MCE remote can i use this as an irblaster?

Yes, you probably can use the MCE IR Blaster, but you'll need to use the (free) third party software HIP.

I havnt personally tried it, since I'm on Telstra Clear cable tv.

[wedgie]

do you need to set the ir/blaster to send signals channel or something?
also when do you think you will have your MCEIRBlaster on GBPVR channel changing dropdown list working?
have you seen anyone get this working?

There is a bug with the built-in MCE2005 ir blaster channel changer (which was only added in the last release) that stops it working, so you'll need to use HIP. This uses the GB-PVR .exe channel changer pointing to a HIP .exe

[wedgie]

would the parameter be {channel} 700

and gbpvr would populate the channel and 700 ms delay.
is there certian frequencys and/or channels?

I dont understand the question.

[wedgie]

i mean in .exe channel plugin is the parameter the code that GBPVR sends hip?

[sub]

yeah, what about it exactly?

Maybe try the question again with a decent amount of detail. I cant read minds.

[wedgie]

you can't read minds?:eek:

i mean if you choose the channel changer as .exe.
and then go down to the parameters box. what is that boxes purpose?
is it the command that is sent to hipsend.exe?

for more info on hipsend

Yes, the parameters box that defines what parameters are sent to the to the .exe you select. You can send any parameters you want to the .exe, just enter them in the box. If you enter {channel} somewhere in that line, it'll be replaced with the channel number.

I've never used HIP or hipsend, so I cant give you any more details on that end of things. Several other users here have used it though.
