4dtv Remote

[ChuckBoozer]

Anybody got one they're willing to part with?

 

[surfdevil83]

I have one for ya but I think by the time it got to ya it wouldn't be worth the shipping cost from toronto.

 

[Mr Tony]

damn I thought I had one around here...lemme see if I can find it

I have one from a trashed 920. Don't know what it would be to ship / mail from Indiana.

 

[ChuckBoozer]

Thanks, guys. PM me if you are willing to assist.

I have a Starchoice remote that should work since its motorola. Some of the buttons may be different but if all else fails it might work

I use a harmony 890 remote on my 922 , you could pick up a cheaper harmony remote on ebay for around 20-30 dollars or even less

I have a Starchoice remote for my 405, it will operate 99% of the commands my 922 remote does. So a Starchoice remote is almost the same.

 

[Mr Tony]

what button on the SC remote allows you to switch satellites?

 

[ChuckBoozer]

Thanks for all of the replies, guys. I will gladly pay shipping for the SC remote if you think that will work OK for the 920.

Picked one up on Criagslist for $15....figure I can't complain too much that the remote was missing....

NONE the PPV button is where the sat button is on the 4D remote. You can hit sat on the front panel of the 4D though.

 

[Mr Tony]

bummer...

 

[ChuckBoozer]

Anybody gonna help a brother out?

I'll take a SC remote if that's what it takes....

Mike Kohl sells Voom remotes cheap. I think you can use them with 4dtv's.

Hmmmnn...interesting. I have two VOOM remotes - will they really work with the 4dtv units?

 

[tvropro]

The Voom box is the same as the Starchoice 505 I think. In theory all Starchoice/4DTV use most of the same codes. Try it out I bet it will work some of the functions.

With my 920, I use an old Primestar remote, that I got at a local thrift store for a buck! The "Menu" button in the middle of the channel/volume buttons brings up the satellite selection screen. The remote for my DSR 4200V works it too.
Most all of the GI/Motorola boxes will work with each other's remotes, just some function buttons are different.

I called rps sat about a month ago asking for a 4dtv replacement remote, since mine is slowly dieing, Roger told me he has the Voom remotes for 4d replacements. So I guess you can look around for one of those to.
