HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Service\Video\Tuners\{A799A800-A46D-11D0-A18C-00A02401DCD4}\{BD307F84-4565-4260-A412-5D26DBE6427A}\UserSettings
Description: 

Please note that the {A799A...}\{BD307...} number may be different depending on the tuner you are using with your STBi.

Under the "STBCode" entry you can easily change the following numbers:

  • <keyinterval>150</keyinterval> This is the delay between each signal send (in milliseconds)
  • <keyduration>150</keyduration> This is how long it will send the iri signal (in milliseconds)
  • <channelpause>150</channelpause> This is how long it will pause on each channel before another change (in milliseconds)
  • <useenter>False</useenter> Setting for sending "Enter" after the channel number
  • <numdigits>3</numdigits> How many digits to send

These numbers may be different from what is listed above - they are set during the initial TV signal setup - modifying them here is a way to change the settings without re-doing the TV Setup. You may want to write down your current settings before changing these - just in case you need to go back. You might need to mess with the different delays several times to find what works best for your setup.
