My cable company isn NTL or Telewest – will Red-Eye work on my Pace STB ?
No. At present it is believed that only NTL and Telewest use IRDA remotes. The problems these have caused makes it seem unlikely that anyone else will use IRDA in future. Foxtel Australia Pace STBs do not use IRDA. The Foxtel remote (which looks similar to UK Sky remotes) uses a conventional IR protocol, but the bit rate is about twice as fast as RC5/6 codes, which may be outside the useable range of some learning remotes and senders, and some users have reported compatibility problems.
