naxoz Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Is it possible to "hack" a remote controll to change its frequency? Im having trouble with two of my remotes. The one to the parabole tuner, and the otherone is to my "sorround system volum controller thingy". The problem is, when I'm pressing, any button, on my parabole tuner remote, the sorround volume decreases or encreases. This is so irifucingtaiting. So is it possible to change the frequency of the remote. Can anyone help me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naxoz Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 its so expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLuNK Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Well you get paid on a hourly basis? Your going to be spending more then a few hours configuring this to no avail, Might as well purchase a universal remote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H@L0_F00 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 ^^^ agreed trying to change the frequency of a remote would mean a WHOLE LOT of dumb and useless work with, most likely, no success in the end... just get a little $10 one from walmart and you'll probably be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DingleBerries Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 is it rf or ir? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schuchwun Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Hardly anything with rf these days, since its changing his stereo tuner its ir. a $10 universal remote works great. If you can find one with JPI pin header behind the battery cover you can reprogram it with the codes for your parabole tuner. this is a great example.

ZeroBeat Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Saw on some radio-related hack podcast, something about how you could use the crystal, in the failsafe device of a toaster, in a walkie-talkie to tune in on McDonald's drive through microphones, (haven't tried it though), maybe a simulate technique could be used (but even if, damn I would not get started on that, except maybe if I where a engineering genius). If you can understand this you might have a slim chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidork Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Most multifunction remotes can be "haxxored" with a jtag programmer. on most Directv remotes the connectors are under the batteries, and usually have the pins removed so you'll probably have to solder some pins on to be able to use the jtag interface.

deleted Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I dont think the problem could be solved with a Universal Remote. It sounds like the problem is that its the same signal for both things, so using a universal remote will just put out the exact same signals and the problem would continue. I'd check the manual for the devices, so things have options to change the frequencys. (like my surround sound system has three settings on the base unit and the remote).

That would mean changing the signal/frequency of the receiver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
