Hi Neil Sorry that I didn't reply to this earlier, I've been away.
It looks like you've got some useful responses anyway :-) In response to your points below though: > Ah, *please* tell me ... do you have to play silly wotsits to make it > work OK? Yup - I did. I went through all of the type of things that you did. In the end, I plugged the thing into a Windoze machine out of sheer frustration. That worked perfectly, and it's worked perfectly on the Linux box ever since. I've been using the red_eye program from RedRemote's website. > Your 'TK$1 5'; you always power cycle the box upon channel change? No - this is an "sh" script, so the $1 is just the variable substitution. > What's the '5'? And then a double 'K' ["sky" button?]? The 5 is the number of seconds to wait after transmitting, it looks like this was only added recently. So, my (very simple!) script does the following: Send the "Sky" button (wake it up!) Send the "Backup" button (in case it's doing something else) Send the string passed as a parameter (eg. "101") Wait a couple of seconds Send the "Backup" button twice, so make sure that I can get rid of those annoying "Press Red" things that keep appearing. Hope that this helps Steve
