Just so you know - the remotes that come with the skystar cards can be opened up and there is a link you can unsolder and swap to the new postion gives the extra codes for the vol+ vol- prog+ prog- buttons.<BR>
<BR>
Very easy quick job to do and makes the remote much better.<BR>

<FONT COLOR="#000000">> Well, I've sort of had a partial success. I've got the remote working, but not very well. The provided config file for the TTS35AI ( the 100... remote just doesn't work at all, so I created my own usint the irrecord utility. However, it's not working too well - have to press buttons twice, and don't seem to have any volume control. The faq suggests that it isn't recognising the RC-5 protocol in use, but it does state that. I think I'll try recreating the file tomorrow - it's beer o'clock now! </FONT>
