DirecTV H20 IR Files

TurnipTruck

Greetings,

Could someone explain why IR files for this receiver only put out a quick IR blast regardless of how long the channel in the transmitting device is held on?

I have tried downloaded files as well as ones I have captured myself. They are being blasted from an Axcent 3 controlled by an NI-3000.

It seems that the H20 sometimes misses a command and I'm suspecting that it is because the duration of the IR pulse is too short.

Thanks.

Had same problem last week (Axcent 2), moved the emitter off to the side of the IR receiver instead of being right on top and things improved greatly.

Thanks! Great tip, well worth the cost of admission! I will try this week.

Agreed...emitter must not be right on top of sensor--it's too sensitive. I also found improvement by setting CTON to 1. Strange but true. If you have a chance to switch, Serial control of the H20 works great through the USB port...see other threads in the forum for details.
