Can't Get USB-UIRT Zones Working
Ok, I'm pulling my hair out. I'm trying to get a brand new USB-UIRT to control two identical cable boxes using the USB-UIRT's zones. I've done everything according to the instructions (stereo to mono splitter, two mono 1/8" jacks, changes to the IR files). Nothing works.
Anyone have any ideas? - Jeff |

Well, you're not going to believe this. Apparently, the 1/8" IR input jack on the back of the SciAtlanta 3250 is IR output, not input. In a million years that was never going to work. Guess I need to buy som IR emitters, huh?
Hopefully my foolishness will help some hapless 3250 owner in the future. - Jeff |

Glad you figured it out.
Yeah, that output is so the 3250 can tell a VCR when to start recording. For emitters, I got them from the cableco. Every time I get a new box or trade an old one for a new one they give me the box, a remote, and an emitter. I now have half a dozen of them in a box for backups. Scott |

All of the USB-UIRT's sold in the last year and a half or so are capable of 3 seperate zones.

thanks for the info on the usb uirt. i though that i'd seen other usb type uirt's around, but i could be mistaken.
do you know if girder and ir zoning would work with something like an ocelot? i'd like to do both ir (now) and x10 (in a few months)... |
