Starchoice - how to pre-pend an extra enter key?

[zoltran]

I have a usbuirt running two starchoice recievers. Works well.
The Starchoice receivers are set to use differerent Remote codes and Sage has no problems running both boxes.

But Starchoice has a nasty habit of displaying a 'you are not subscribed' error popup if you tune to an invalid channel. See pic.

The way to fix it is to hit a 'select/enter' button on the remote and then tune to the new channel. The Receiver will hang until you do.

But how do I do this from Sage? Is there a way to prepend an enter to the front of any IR cmd to clear the error?

You could try Source Details -> Remote Control Options -> Channel Change Prefix Code, on p. 159 of the v6.4 PDF manual.

Amazing what one finds when you read the book.
Created a new IR code for 'Select' and used that as prefix.
I didn't know I could do that ... Works well.!!

Thanks Andy!

Have you disabled all invalid channels for the tuner connected to the Starchoice boxes? If so why would you ever get this error, unless there is an IR code missed?

that's true Wayne
But i'm still finding those that don't work... and when you do run into one the starchoice recvr is locked until you hit select/enter.
