    hi guys! thanks god a forum like this exist. i bought the harmony elite and noticed that it absolutely doesnt work with the sunrise tv box. i then ordered the flirc and it should arrive the next few days. but i already got one question: is it possible to just start the radio and the receiver (without the TV screen) with the flirc? the problem is that i must choose the radio in the sunrise menu, but therefore i need to turn on the tv also to navigate in the sunrise menu... 

    a solutionj would be very welcome! thanks in advance and have a good day guys. hope that logitech gonna fix that soon anyway!!

     

     

    to do that you can edit the start-sequence of your action "listen to radio". by adding steps, you can tell it to (for example) push the menu button, then push the down arrow button, the (again) push the down arrow button, then press the ok button. you will have to add delays inbetween (you have to experiment with that) probably something between 200-500ms between every command. otherwise the tv box is going to miss some of the commands, because it cannot react fast enough.

    good luck :)

    i really dont get how it works for all of you?! i tried it yesterday. the only thing that works with the adapter is that i now can turn on the sunrise box. every other button on the harmony elite doesnt work or is controlling my tv instead of the box!? what did i do wrong? i started the flirc software, loaded the file from the forum and connected the adapter to the box. do i have to specify which hardware id like to control with the harmony elite before??

    When you set up your activity (i asume you call it "watch tv" or something like that) on your harmony elite, at some point it will ask you "With which device do you switch channels?". maybe you selected the tv instead of the tv box?
    To test this, do this: Go to "devices" on your harmony elite (it's an on-screen button on the remote). There you can select the sunrise tv box. Once selected, the remote control is now focused on the tv box. Can you control the tv box now? if yes, delete and re-program your "watch tv"-activity. if not, than i would guess that something went wrong with the setup of the dongle, and i don't think i can help you there...

    Also: make sure that there are no obstacles between your flirc dongle and your harmony hub, or harmony elite (if your not using a hub). Infrared does not penetrate physical obsticals very well :) in the end (if it works) you can buy a usb extension cable, so you can postion your flirc better.
    if you are using the hub, know that it is the hub that communicates with your devices, not the remote directly. the remote sends the command via RF (radio waves) to the hub and the hub then uses infrared, bluetooth or wlan to control your devices.
