Hi,
Do I need a red-eye adaptor or red-eye serial to fix this problem? The red-eye site doesn't seem to mention Sky+ anywhere!
Cheers,
Andy.

The MCE remote comes with the IR blaster to do this.

Yes but it doesn't seem to work, I thought it was necessary to get the red-eye to translate the signal that MCE sends to IRDA or something? Anyone else happily changing the channel on their sky+ box without the use of the red-eye or anything?
Cheers

works for me on my Sky+. MCE TV wizard aks lots of questions and asks for me to press buttons on my Sky+ remote and it works.

Really, mmmm that's strange. Wonder why mine doesn't work then? Back to the drawing board then...

DO you use the little sticky on IR blaster if so which box do you have and where do you think the IR sensor is? I have the v2 Pace SKY+ box and mine is hit or miss via IR blaster.
Let me know if you find a soluion Andy!

Mine just lays in front of my V1 Sky+ box.

But I thought the Pace Sky boxes used IRDA and that's why an adaptor was needed to change the IR signal from the blaster to IRDA which the Sky box understands? Or was I dreaming this? Anyway I know it isn't working and I can only assume that's the reason why not...
Cheers,
Andy.

The Pace SKY+ box definitely doesn't use IRDA as I can successfully drive mine with my pronto extender.
