Hi, 

I've been looking for the best place to post this but was told the general discussion board was that place so here goes – I tried to make a remote on remotes.slingbox.com but it does not work as the IR blast after it 'learns' does not seem to have any effect (heard this from others). Then I looked for already released remotes that may fit – nothing at all. SO I hope to improve my luck:

There are two boxes – one partially supported, the other one not at all (one would be enough):

- The older box is a Yes Max (Israel satellite) manufacturer I believe is ADB  though it says UCE on the sticker..). The remote that exists (YES) does not have the controls for the DVR remote that is the same only with play, pause, FF, RW buttons that are missing. 

Now there is now a newer box that supports HD with VOD that doesn't have a remote at all not even a basic one. Ideally, that would be the one I would love to have and just throw the old box away. That remote model is YES – A.D.B 7820SX

I would really appreciate help on this. 

Thanks in advance ! 

I will try it thanks. 

Can you refer me to the instructions of how to upload a remote file?

Thanks!

First of all thanks a lot – this IS the remote for Yes Max HD – the box I thought would never be controllable works perfectly. 

I am trying, though, to figure out if there is a remote for the basic DVR that does the FF RW and Pause as there are two non HD boxes – one just set top box, the other is a DVR. In my case I do have an Yes Max HD (the one that the custom remote works with) but I use it for my in home viewing. I have a separate Yes Max (the basic non HD DVR) that I use for Slingbox viewing but as I mentioned it does not have a proper remote – only the one for the basic box without the DVR controls. This new remote you've referred me to only works with the YES MAX HD. 

SO the situation right now where I can connect to Yes Max HD and control recordings is much better than before, but if I could use the basic DVR, I would prefer it as this is a slingbox Solo that is not HD anyway and this is a DVR not in any other use. 

Thanks again!

Brandon, 

No unfortunately it can not control the old box – I tried it and the box does not respond (in fact I knew the IR code were different from the basic Yes Max after talking to Sling Israel – if you ask them they say there is no remote that controls YES MAX HD at all only the basic Set Top Box which can be used for the basic non HD DVR version as well, but not control the DVR functions…

So, the codes are shared in the old box in both the basic set top box and the DVR box (only difference are these navigation buttons for DVR). A physical remote for yes set top box works on yes Max (DVR non HD) and vice versa, non of them work with the HD version, thus the non HD with DVR controls is the one missing. 

I can tell you that there has been a log of disgruntle about it on Israeli sites and I really tried helping people but was not able to create a new remote and sling could care less about this… 

Thanks. I've tried the HOT remotes – the cable company and they don't seem to work at all. The box doesn't have a more exact number than the one I gave initially. The remote is proprietary YES looks similar to the YES that comes up when you choose "Yes" standard remote except it has these play, FF RW Pause buttons. 

I am attaching the photo of the remote – really hope it helps. in the slignbox setup when you choose 'YES', provides that very similar remote (only without those navigation buttons critical for DVR) that work on this model so perhaps if you look at the setup, choose satellite box then 'Yes' you will see this exact remote with the missing controls that the sliver one does have

I hope this will help and thank you again,
