Cisco DTA 250HD and URC-4220-RF IR sensor compatibility issues ?
Hello Geniuses, We have a Cisco DTA 250HD mini box connect at work. It had an IR sensor plugged into it through the IR IN port that got smashed. We operated it through a URC-4220-RF remote control. A co-worker bought another IR sensor, and it did not fix the problem. Looking to get feedback on better options to getting it running again. Is the remote old, and does it need replacing? What IR sensor models seem are compatible with both the mini box and remotes? No chance of having a tech out, because it is paid for by the company, and would result in them just remembering they pay for service, and most likely cancelling it. We need to watch TV, Help us Obi One, you're our only hope. Princess Leia
Cannot program mini-box remote to brand new RCA tv...
I've tried both the auto search method detailed on the back of the remote and the code entry method (using all the RCA codes listed on the Cox website)...to no avail. When I tried the auto method, I held Select for over five minutes yet the tv never powered off. Any insight? Can it take longer to find the code?
Sound and picture problems
Sound cuts out for a couple seconds, picture gets pixel blotches. Problem is now on both of my TV's. It's so bad that I can't watch the program. I reset the box every 3 - 4 days, that helps for an hour or 2. I've been a cox customer for 16 years, up to a year ago my cable was flawless. It seems their total solution is to reset the box. I'm being charged big bucks for inferior service. They know there is a problem but lack the balls to admit it and the intelligence to fix it.
