Problem release V0.019

[kb0teo]

The problem post I made earlier on July 29.((=Topic: Problem with new release V0.019, Channel Changer USB URIT) has returned again after reinstalling and getting the program V0.019 working.

I went back to V0.018l and it will change channels though the USB UIRT and will change then record the correct TV program. Have been using V0.018l since August 1st and it has changed channels correctly and the recorded TV programs are fine. Had some time to reinstall and play with V0.019 the last couple of days and can not get it to change channels correctly all the time though the USB UIRT. Also unable to enter in any new code definition as the setup program with cycle though the numbers automatically. Has any else had this problem?

The only change I noted in the setup config program of the USB UIRT setup was the addition of the enter key code in the setup.


Thanks in advance.

Here is the text from my first posting. I am having the same problems again.

I have a problem with the newest release V0.019. I uninstalled the V0.018L. And installed the new version. As recommended.

My problem is that the USB URIT setting on the configuration program of V0.019 do not seem to be working correctly. I set a new definition for my DirecTV remote using the USB-UIRT CHANNEL CHANGER CONFIGURATION menu. The only new change I noted was the addition of the "OK" or "ENTER" after you were prompted the numbers 1 thru 0 which I entered and then named DirecTV. I chose not to check any of the options Zero pad channel, Send ENTER/OK after transmission, or Use three digit channel numbers. This setting worked fine with V0.018L and would change the channels on my DirecTV receiver and allow the GR-PVR to record the correct programs.

But on the new release V0.0.19 it seems to change the channel only one time then stop. I can record the first program schedule to be recorded the recording scheduled after that will not change the channel setting on my DirecTV receiver. The USB URIT will flash like it is sending the signal but the channel stays the same. I also tried to use the manual record to see if the channel changer would work but no luck there it will not change the channel but will flash like it is sending a signal. At first I thought it was a problem with my USB URIT or the driver for the USB URIT so I uninstalled my driver thru the DEVICE MANAGER in WinXP. Then plugged the USB URIT back in and installed the driver again. I also went in to the GR-PVR Configuration menu and went to USB-UIRT CHANNEL CHANGER CONFIGURATION and was going to create a new definition for DirecTV receiver I click on the NEW to config a new definition.

Here I believe is the problem when I do that now the window comes up and you are to enter the numbers the program will cyclic though all the numbers and the enter key or OK with out me pushing the keys on my remote then it is prompting me for then ask me for a name for my new profile.

I tried several time the its the same the Prompts are displayed and ask you to press a key number and it says to release number and going to the next all with out me pressing any keys at all! It act as the program is stuck in a loop. Then asks for a name for your new profile!

The USB URIT worked fine in the V0.018l and can reinstall it so I can record programs. But I really like you new V0.019 and the fast forward and reverse works for me in this release.

Hopefully this is a minor bug?

I've just had a good go at reproducing this error without any luck.

Yes, I think is key to your problem. I'm not sure why you would be getting this though, I've just tried it myself several times and all went as expected.

Might be worth updating your drivers from http://www.usbuirt.com.

Do you have any other software on you machine that uses the USB-UIRT?

Thanks for looking at the problem with the USB UIRT.

I checked about the drivers for the USB UIRT. I have the latest drivers from the web site. The USB UIRT is new only three weeks old. And it worked fine with Ver. 018l on changing channels. I tried to record several programs today and only about 1 in 4 25% were correctly recorded the channels on the others failed because the USB UIRT did not change to the correct TV channel. From the videos it looks like the USB UIRT is transmitting only two numbers and not three needed to change the DirecTV channel setting but sometime it will transmit the channel numbers correctly (25%) of the time .

I have no other software using the USB UIRT device.
I may reinstall ver 018l and try it for a few days. Then leave more feedback.

Bye for now.

The problem seemed to be my Kensington MouseWorks Trackball software.  I had the setting for the cord key comand for it to auto scroll thought I had it set just for Internet Explorer but it was set system wide.  Was causing a loop effect.

Everything seems to be working ok now.

Thanks for your effort.
