I just purchased a Toshiba RD-xs32 DVD recorder. It works great except
for an issue I'm having recording future programs with my digital
satellite TV system (DSS) set-top-box from RCA.
The Toshiba DVR has an IR blaster that supposedly lets you setup the
DSS to change a channel and then it will record the program on that
channel. Unfortunately, the DSS requires an "OK" signal (essentially
and 'enter' command) after the 3 digits of the channel are entered.
The Toshiba however, will only output the 3 digits channel numbers but
will not output the 'ok' signal to actually change the channel.
On my RCA satellite sytem I can enter four digits without needing the
'ok'
command but the Toshiba DVR will only accept 3 digits, not 4, so that
work around fails.
So, since I assume that other set-top-boxes require an 'enter' type
command after the channels are selected, does anyone have any
suggestions for me on how to get around this? I contacted Toshiba and
haven't gotten an answer back from them yet.
Thanks is advance,
Steve Tenbrink
