Minimum # of digits to send
If a single digit channel on your cable or satellite shows up as 5,
then you have a single digit box. If a single digit channel on your cable or
satellite shows up as 05, then you have a 2 digit box. If a single digit channel
on your cable or satellite shows up as 005, then you have a 3 digit box. If your
cable or satellite box is dropping digits, try changing the minimum # of digits
to send to 1.
Inter-action delay: (milliseconds)
This delay determines how long the ReplayTV will wait between sending individual
signals Changing this can prevent digits from being dropped. For, one second,
enter 1000.
Response Delay: (milliseconds)
This determines how long the ReplayTV will wait before acknowledging that a successful
channel change has occurred Changing this response can prevent the "No Video
Signal" blue screen from appearing on some cable boxes and satellite receivers.
Pre-command delay: (milliseconds)
This determines how long the ReplayTV will wait before executing plans it receives
Changing this can eliminate the need for tape to cover areas of the IR Receiver
that are not covered by the IR blaster.
Inter-Command delay: (milliseconds)
This determines how long the ReplayTV will wait between sending entire commands
Changing this can prevent back-to-back channel changes from being dropped. |
