Alphanumeric remote keys for editing

[Corrado]

I was reading in the other thread that we have the early design remotes without the alphanumeric keys. Without trying to continually make errors what keys correspond to what letters?

I ended up just correcting everything with the channel editor for now.

Most likely they would be the same as printed on any phone ever manufactured, and, I believe your Dish ViP211 remote.

I'm hoping the new remote will show up at SlingBox also

1=.,*?!@
2=abc
3=def
4=ghi
5=jkl
6=mno
7=pqrs
8=tuv
9=wxyz
0=(space) _ - 0

Just go to the "name new sat" window and try all of them yourself. I used a fine point Sharpie marker and hand wrote them above each key.

also on each number after the letters is the number too

so as example if you press the 2 button that is a,b,c,2

I have edited the 1 & 0 keys to show the right things

Turns out the channel up and channel down (along with some others) are the same infrared code as my Toshiba TV. Kept wondering why when I went back to the satellite from using the TV it was on a different channel! Good thing there are only two TV channels here.

I don't do much texting on my phone eek, so I'll probably stick to the PC editor proggy ...
