Hi ALL,
After a long wait I got my remote and I’m impressed with the build quality. However, I’m a retired software engineer but boy is this thing frustrating to set up! I was able to get it to control my LG TV but the next device I wanted to set up was my Frontier Cable DVR - and then progress totally stopped! I couldn’t find it in the database (also tried Verizon DVR and still no good) so I set up a blank device to learn the IR codes. It took me a good while to just figure out how to do it (this forum is a life saver!!) but then I realized every time I went to learn an IR code the hub blinked red twice. I found out that meant that the learn failed. I tried other buttons and they also failed. The source was either the Harmony Elite or the original Frontier remote - both had the same fail results.
I then tried to learn a code from my Dennon AVR and the hub blinked green meaning it took. So my problem is not being able to learn any IR signals from the Frontier DVR. I don’t understand that as I’m sure the Frontier DVR’s commands are the same type of IR signal as any other device. Plus the Harmony Elite (and several other remotes I’ve used in the past) had no problem with the Frontier DVR commands.
So bottom line, has anyone with a Frontier (or Verizon) DVR got it to work with the remote? Other than the Frontier branding the DVR also says ARRIS VMS1100.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
