Will Red-Eye work with the Telewest Explorer 4000/4200DVB (Scientific Atlanta) STBs ?
Yes. These STBs require Red-Eye firmware V7 or later and a hardware change. Current production incorporates these changes. Existing users of Red-Eye Mk.II (black case) can be upgraded by post – please email for details. Red-Eye Mk.I (red case) cannot be upgraded. Unlike the Pace boxes, these STBs need to see repeated IRDA keycodes to reliably recognise them. V7 firmware sends, by default, 3 IRDA keycodes for every keypress – It has been reported that different STBs require different numbers of keycodes for reliable operation, and Red-Eye has a facility to adjust the number of codes sent – see this page for details. It has also been reported that the positioning of Red-Eye on the front some of these STBs can be critical, so if you are having reliability problems, it may be worth trying repositioning.
