Dish 811 Pioneer DVR-233S Codes

[barryp]

After reading some postings about the 811 being able to provide Pioneer DVD recorders "record" and "stop" commands I got the DVR-231S (Walmart version of the 233S).

DOES ANYONE HAVE THE 811 VCR CODE that works with the 231/233? I tried all the Pioneer codes in the latest 811 manual (downloaded from the Dish site) but notta!

Also, does anyone have an 811 code that works with the Pioneer DVR-533H (or 531H)?

BTW, what's with Dish not supporting the codes for DVD recorders? Has the IRDA standard changed so the 811 is unable to do this? It makes no sense to me...

I have a pioneer dvd recorder that i got to work with my 811 but i'm not at home right now so I don't know what code i used. I will get back to you when i get home

That would be great Brett. What model DVD recorder do you have?

vcr code

I have the pioneer dvr 520 hs. The vcr code is 573. Hope this code will work on your model.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I tried that one yesterday from the 811 manual. I guess I will have to try to find a 520...

So far, it appears that code 573 works for the 520h and the newer 533h but not the 231s. Go figure..
