JAT – 1 minute ago »
I have turned off the telephone which is nearby and it makes no difference.
It seems my options are: buy a separate ir device or start again with an HDMI extender on Ethernet. The problem I have with the latter is concrete floors and very limited access to the loft to run the cable. Many thanks for all your help and information, it is really appreciated.
The cable option will give you High Definition pictures on the remote TV and is likely to be much more reliable. I use one with a matrix switch to send all my different sources to a remote TV.
Sounds like the best way to go. This is all because I was fed up paying a high monthly charge to sky so I bought a Humax. Sadly this isn’t my only difficulty. The Humax box does not respond very well to “on demand” even though my laptop works brilliantly when brought into the same room. So I don’t think it can be the internet signal. The Humax keeps saying it meets a problem. I have tried switching it off and waiting before re-booting, but no difference. I am now totally hacked off with all of it.

It could well be the location of the box down low under a TV isn’t the best place for wireless reception. Try a pair of homeplugs rather than wireless.
If you have a blu-ray player (or any other hdmi device), try connecting that to the transmitter and checking whether the remote ir system works. If it does then it suggests that the Humax frequency is out of the range compatible with the OneForAll.
Another thing to try, if you have a smartphone with ir capabilities, is one of the universal remote apps. Again, if this works when the Humax is set up and the Humax remote doesn’t, the indication is as above.
My gut feeling, though, is that the placement of the ir sender in relation to the Humax needs to be tweaked to get it to work.

You might need a seperate IR device.
Sorry been out of touch for the weekend.
FAQ on OFA site says
Quote:I cannot control the HDMI source, using a remote control, what do I do?
Make sure to use the remote control of the video source.
Alternatively make sure that the IR emitter (see manual for especification) is connected in the back of the transmitter and that the probe is situated in front of the source device. Make sure that the IR receiver is connected in the back of the receiver. The distance between this IR receiver and your remote control should be between 30cm and 5m.
Also make sure to aim the remote control directly at the IR receiver unit and ensure that there are no obstacles in between. Also ensure that there is no other wireless device (wireless headphones, speakers) interfering with the remote control.
The IR extender function works with all remotes which operate with 30-60kHz frequency, please check your original remote to see if it is compatibile.
So provided everything is connected correctly, and given that the picture is fine it should work.
If you can’t get it to work then a wired option may be better if not ideal.
Thanks everyone for the help. I had already read the FAQs and tried everything. I have also contacted Oneforall for their technical help. The outcome is unchanged and the remote will not work.
I have decided to hardwire using Ethernet cable. Now all I need to understand is whether or not I can run the Ethernet cable down the same wall chase as a coax. Opinions seem to be divided.

Shouldn’t be an issue, generally coax only has issues when run alongside HDMI cabling. If you use WF/PF100 double screened satellite cable it’s very well shielded.
Hi I have been investigating the FVP4000 ir control. I have experienced problems getting Sky eyes & a Blue Delta blaster (no longer made) to work reliably. The IR code is NEC protocol, which works best with a 38Khz carrier frequency AND MORE importantly a 25% to 33% duty cycle. Unfortunately the Blue Delta has a 50% DC. I then tried a Philex 27871N blaster, this worked OK but needed to have ir emitters stuck onto each bit of kit, this also had DC approaching 50%. I wanted a high power blaster so all bit of kit within say a metre would work. I eventually used a Blakes Promod 32 IR blaster with a home made driver circuit the gives IR pulses 7.59 micro seconds wide. (nb 38Khz is
26.3 micro seconds, hence DC is 28.8%. This solution transformed the performance of my control system to the best it has ever been!
