Some set-top boxes use IrDa-like IR remote control signals, most notably some Virgin Media (what was Telewest and NTL) cable set-top boxes in the UK. The RedRat3 (first version) supports output of these signals from V0.17 of the firmware and V0.17 of the SDK onwards.

Currently the firmware to learn/record these signals takes more room than is available in the RedRat3, however a DB of the signals is available for downloading.

To try this with your RedRat3, you will need to:

• Ensure that your RedRat3's firmware version is V0.17 or later (for original RedRat3s).
• Download the most recent signal DB utility.
• Download the Telewest and NTL IrDa-like signal DB which can be loaded into the DB utility and signal output tested.

So far, we have had confirmation by RedRat customers of the RedRat3 working with the following Telewest and NTL set-top box models:

Telewest (IrDa-like)	Pace D1000T, Pace DI1010T
NTL (IrDa-like)	Pace DiTV-2000, Pace DiTV4000-N
NTL (standard)	Pace DI4001N

If there are signals missing from the DB, you find signals that don't work or you have a Telewest/NTL STB model not in the list above then please let us know.
