Virgin Media STB

[Matt]

I would like to know if anyone has a successfully setup with a Virgin Media (UK cable company) set top box (Scientific Atlanta Explorer 4200DVB Digital Home Rev. 1.3) with an IR Blaster and some form of TV times. I have done some googling and I can't find anything related to this box and any for of MythTV. I would love to be able to go away and come back and have all the TV programs I like to watch all on my box waiting for me when I get back maybe even access them where I am staying over the net.

I have got this partly working.
I have got the blaster working, but only with RAW codes.
The problem I have is that I dont know the RAW code for the OK/Select button.
This is important because the change channel script is a bit flakey, and sometimes doesnt always except a response from a number key press.
Therefore it would be useful to send an OK response to clear/reset the STB so it can accept a new input.

As for the radio time xmltv grabber I got this working a treat.
Its fairly easy once you know how to do it. You can modify the channels directly using the mythweb interface and enter the correct channels and xmlvid. You can then export the channels sql to use as an xml file for your source.

If you still want help give me a shout. Or if you found an answer I would be interested in knowing what config you used for the remote, so that I can sort my OK/Select button

Hi,

We have some contacts at Virgin Media so we may be able to get some additional information about the IR codes used via that route as long as the information is not deemed to be in anyway restricted. I'll have someone make some enquiries and then update this thread with whatever I discover.

All the best
