Standby w/ remote on Philips
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: BigBoris

It's my understanding that the Sony SA Tivos have a "standby" button on the remote. My Philips SA doesn't have that.

However, I've been thinking about buying a learning multi-device remote (probably the Sony RM-VL700, comments welcome). I was wondering if anyone had tried teaching the standby button press from the Sony SA to a learning remote and then using that remote with the Philips.

I don't expect this to work but it would be very cool if it did. Going through two levels of menus to put the Tivo into Standby so that I can watch something else while Tivo tapes is a pain.

Also, does anyone know of any "undocumented" IR codes that the Philips SA Tivo responds to?

As far as I know Sony and Philips remote TiVo codes are completely different and thus, unfortunately, your suggestion won't work.

I just saw something here to the effect that Philips' DirecTiVo's remote has an extra button and if that command is sent to a Philips SA the SA will no longer access the command through the menu's. Unfortunately I forget the particular command being talked about.

That's a great idea. It won't work if you're currently on the main Tivo menu but should be perfect otherwise.

You could always add a left arrow after the menu in that sequence. That would make it work all the time (I think).

Even better! When I get the new remote I will program TIVO-LEFT-CHANDOWN-SELECT-CHANDOWN-SELECT as my "standby" button.

Wasn't that the code in The Legend of Zelda to find the 2nd level sword??
