[QUOTE="dash80, post: 144573, member: 48932"] I just can't get anything to work :-( I can program MP using the STB's remote (SA Explorer 3250HD). It appears that MP is learning properly because I can test with the IR Blaster and the LED does blink a sequence. However, the STB doesn't seem to reply to the IR blaster commands. The interesting thing is that the IR blaster has a visible LED. Someone here said that the IR Blaster uses a visible LED to let you know that it's working. I'm thinking this is part of the problem. I don't think the STB IR receiver picks up the frequencies of the visible red LED. As an experiment, I used my cellphone camera to look at the IR LED of the STB remote control. It shows up blue when transmitting, as do other remotes. However when I put the IR Blaster's LED to the camera, it shows up red. Would it be a fair assumption that the digital camera can be used to check for light spectrum frequency compatibility? If so, then the blue STB remote colour and the red IR Blaster colour indicates that they are perhaps not compatible? [/QUOTE]
