Hi Guys,

I have just emailed Avtex to see if they have a code and received the following reply!

"The code is 2446. However this will only work with the very latest sky
remote as the code is brand new."

I can't check it yet as we don't get our Bentley motorhome until Friday, but if anyone can feed back on whether it works or not that would be great!

We have been waiting a long time for a code to work with the Sky+

That's a good point, but we haven't tried it yet because we don't have the motorhome - BUT we have just had a telephone call from Fullers and our Bentley Oulton is ready to pick up tomorrow!!!!

We cant wait, I am only fed up because I will have to drive the car home whilst Michael drives the motorhome!

We will try the code when we check everything out and get back to funsters. I know this problem with the Avtex code has been on the forum a number of times and it seems great that Avtex have at last supplied a code for Sky remotes.

Apparently you need an issue 9 Sky remote..
To find out which remote you have, remove the battery compartment lid and read from th etag
It will say :
Revision 8 or whatever

Just looked in an HD remote and that was 9F.. Maybe other versions are for the normal systems

Yes.

A Sky remote is designed to work with Sky boxes. Why would they make a new RCU that is not compatiable with older boxes that they know are still being used....

A basic Sky RCU will operate ANY basic Sky box
A Sky+ RCU will operate ANY Sky+ box, and later versions can be reprogrammed to operate basic Sky boxes
A Sky+HD RCU will operate ANY Sky+HD box, and can be reprogrammed to operate basic Sky boxes and Sky+ boxes

Yep, loads of peeps on the techy forums have already used it and no reported problems.

There ARE reports of some revision 9 hand sets not working at all and having to be returned but I think that is more of a red herring !

oK.. Got my rev 9 hand set today..
Tried the code and it did not work ( the hand set did not recognise it )
Using the blinkback method I got the code for the telly.. ( a 19" Avtex ).. Mine is 0371

Put that in and the hand set accepted it straight away..
Aint actually got round to controlling the tv with it yet but will do ! :)

Well it aint good news ( at least for my model Avtex )
Using the blink back method I discovered the code.. no probs

Entered the code in to the hand set and it seemed to accept it

But as yet it has not managed to turn off the tv and to cap it all it seems to put the remote in to some sort of half not working mode as the 'Select' button does not work

Will keep trying and report any progress
