I need to be able to send a IR signal before the first number is sent. The reason i need to do this is that if the remote control has been used before it goes to change cahnnel my NTL (england) box drops the first number. I have been reading around alot of forums and it seems another remote (even if NTL doesnt recognise it) causes the wrong initial bit to be set #(or something like that :)) thus meaning the fist number sent by the actisys to the NTL box is not recognised and therefore dropped.
The solution that has been found is that if a NTL signal, such as right arrow) is sent first then the bits are reset correctly, and therefore the first number is recognised correctly, and the system works fine.
Therefore i need away to append my NTL right arrow signal to the start of any channel change signal by Sage. Is this possible? If not, i guess i am going down the girder route...but i would prefer not to use to Girder unless i have to.
Any ideas anyone,
Thanks
