TiVo and Humax receiver
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: hockey2

I'm using a TiVo and a Humax F2-Fox Free to Air receiver. Really pleased with them both individually but having problems running them together using the IR from the TiVo. TiVo help line tell me that they don't currently support the Humax but may do in future "but this is not something that we do in a week".

Does anyone know the code for the Humax IR or alternatively have know how I get round this to get the two working together?

thanks very much

I use a Humax 5400 with my spare TiVo, it might just be the same IR codes, certainly worth a try.

To get the TiVo to recognise it involves running a TCL script which overwrites the IR codes for one of the other (unused) set-top boxes offered in the setup menu (I chose the first one in the list) .

If that doesn't work, and you can find the right codes for your box you can always edit the TCL script.

Here's the script I used, save it as humax.tcl, copy it TiVo and make executable.

To install:

1. tivosh
2. source humax.tcl
3. humax

==begin cut==
source /tvlib/tcl/tv/mfslib.tcl
proc setIr { irObj field irSequence } {
set savedInitial 0
foreach irPart $irSequence {
if {$savedInitial == 0} {
set savedInitial 1
dbobj $irObj set $field $irPart
} else {
dbobj $irObj add $field $irPart
}
}
}

proc humax {} {

set db [dbopen]

puts "Setting Humax ir5400z codes for TiVo 00141 (AIWA)..."

RetryTransaction {

set tivoir [db $db open /Component/Ir/TivoFormat/00141]

The formatting will have been lost pasting it here, you probably need all those setIr commands as singe lines.

Good luck,

thanks for this........................my starting point for this was that, to date, I have used only the established functionality in the TiVo and browsed this forum. I would love to give this a try but need guidance on the steps as well as the script

thanks again!

Now that TIVO does have support for the Humax F2-FOX Freeview box, can anyone comment on how well it works with TIVO?

Works really well. Have been using it with the IR blaster, as opposed to cable, since January and have not missed a channel change.
