I've been too busy until now to post this...
My Toshiba LCD TV remotes (I have 2 and tested the spare too and my universal does the same) conflict with the MicroHD.
Volume down changes the channel of the Micro. Volume up brings up the EPG . Input mutes it.
The Toshiba remote is model# CT-90302

The MicroHD remote does not conflict with the TV.

I noted that in a later post you suggested that it may not be the Toshiba code but a filtering by the microHD. The ALI engineers tested the two codes that you provided and found that these IR codes do not trigger a microHD event.

We apologize that your Toshiba remote is interfering with the microHD. IR cross platform control is a quite common occurrence between electronic devices.

Donating a RCU to the ALI engineers for IR output diagnosis would not be suggested. Remember that we are asking them to test a device not manufactured by or for them and asking why it interferes with their product. Not likely to happen. Probably the best option would be to ask Toshiba to test and provide the sequences emitted by their IR.

The Toshiba IR issue was quite a low priority with ALI engineers and I believe that we had our opportunity to review the issue with their team. At this point, we will put this issue on hold unless a specific IR sequence can be identified and the issue replicated using different IR transmitter hardware.

Thanks Brian. As stated by others, the MicroHD is responding to Toshiba remotes and as well as universals set to Toshiba. The Toshiba tv does not respond to the MicroHD remote. When MicroHD owners press INPUT on a Toshiba remote it mutes the MicroHD and when pressing PicSize on the same remote, it starts recording on the MicroHD. I wish it was as easy as changing the remote codes in the binary of the firmware. Then I could use another ALI based remote like the S10. If this is where it stands, then I can't recommend a MicroHD to a Toshiba owner. Toshiba sold 15 million tv sets last year, so I think they won't be changing anything.

Here's a suggestion I throw out to you but it requires some homework, and it might help understand what is going on, or it might not. But I'd think it's worth trying.

Go to this web site: http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=8973 and download that remote file. Extract it with a unzip program, and OPEN the Geosat DVR1100c.rmdu file with Notepad as plain text.

Then, go to here: http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=category&cat_id=23 and find the remote file for your Toshiba tv set. Extract the rmdu file for that one also, into another Notepad window as plain text. Compare them, and see if you see anything (a code) that strikes you as odd, or matches between them, etc. Perhaps you will see something that will make sense to help understand what's actually going on. If so, then you'll have to figure out if the info is worth giving to Brian, and seeing if anything further can be done on his side.

Good luck, I hope this is of some help to you.

Any update on this?
I just ran into this problem again.

It would be really helpful if someone here with a MicroHD and a universal remote could try this: set your universal TV remote to a Toshiba and start pressing buttons aimed at the MicroH. Volume down changes the channel of the Micro. Volume up brings up the EPG . Input mutes it. I can't remember which records - but it sucks that it makes all kinds of phantom recordings.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

I'm getting fabulous picture on Ch. 148 4k, but zero audio with H713. This is with a recorded show (Notre Dame game). Anyone else have this? Audio is fine on every other channel.

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

Which one has O'Neil being Ancients? I am at the end of Season 8 now.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.
