Learning Remotes and Digital Cable boxes.

[Mark M]

Does anyone know if the Philips E-Pilot remote will work with the Pace NTL digital cable box model DI4001N ?

I currently have a Cable and Wireless digital cable box model D1000T and this definately doesn't work.

NTL have said that the DI4001N will work with learning remotes but that cable and wireless customers can't change to the new boxes until some time in the future.

The letsautomate website says that the Philips Pronto will work with the DI4001N, does anyone know if the Philips E-Pilot does as well? or of any other remote I can use.

Please Help !

AFAIK there is no learning remote on the market that will accept codes from either NTL or Telewest's digital set top boxes. Pace when they made them where asked to use incredibly stupid frequencies for them for whatever reason unbeknown to the average man on the street http://www.wvip.co.uk/ubb/frown.gif

I actually read this a bit quick last night http://www.wvip.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif I know all existing boxes won't work but maybe this new D1000T will...
