Replacement remote

[jack616]

Can anyone recommend a decent remote for the HDR-Fox T2
I have one cheap one here but its hard work (no OPT button)
None of them seem able to switch codes that I can find.
I'd rather not pay the Humax price ( I'd prefer the asda price !)
but need the channel swap facility.
thanks

The free option is to use your phone and the ir package.

Or there are several existing threads: https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/new-rm-f04-remote-excellent-service-from-ebay-supplier.10254/

...but I don't think you'll find any non-OEM handset able to change control channels.

I haven't found one. Best I could do is a generic one (eg. One for All) with learning facilities (that is you press a key on the old remote and record the result on the new one). But if your Opt button doesn't work on the original remote you can't teach a new remote the code. Not forgetting the learning can be a bit temperamental.

What do you mean by that?

I assume - low cost replacement. Best I can think of is a used one from an auction site - but quality varies.

..but need the channel swap facility.

Do you mean the channel+, channel-, and numeric buttons or something else?

If you have a one-for-all universal remote that controls multiple devices, you can use the info from

Post in thread 'URC-7960'

Hi Ron, could you or anyone else tell me the code you used to program your URC-7960 for the Fox T2 please?

I've tried all the codes in the instructions but none of them completely cover all the buttons of the T2 remote. For example, I can't find a code which gives me a button for the Media screen

I have a URC-7962, but I assume this should work for a 7960 as well. One for All sent me the following:-

To program the required functions onto your One For All, please follow the procedure below.

1. Using the left or right arrow select the relevant device key
2. Hold the Magic key...

I was able to assign opt+ (00423) to almost any other key on a URC 11-1280 (using 'setup' instead of 'magic' and the correct device key). (Eg Amazon are currently selling the URC 1240 for under £10, may be less on eBay.)

Thanks for all the feedback - and sorry for not picking a better place to ask
(it was a spurr of the moment question)
I can't use my phone - I don't use those things.

You're right BH - I couldn't find one capable of channel change.
I'm suprised because its not hard to do - I've done one in a PIC chip
myself - I still have it somewhere - the learning code was a bit tricky in
places but once I'd worked out how to do my very odd air conditioners'
signals on a learn cycle it would do pretty much anything -
If I can do it just using a bit of C and a picoscope I think
the chinese have fallen down a bit there... A trend I seem to be picking
up with modern tech - things have been going downhill for some years
I think.

I do have an older 'one-for-all' but I couldn't ever get it to work on the HDR
Maybe a newer couple of those is my best answer.

If you can build a suitable jp1.x interface/cable then you may be able to use the old one-for-all remote.
(You can use the cable to communicate with the remote and load codes into it etc., rather than entering the codes manually using the magic/setup button.)
