Custom Remote for ZJBox

[as400jockey]

ZJBox is a cable box for over the air digital channels. I have it connected to the slingbox and it works great, but I can't get the remote to work.

Previously this had been used with a Fios cable box, and it worked great.

I found IR codes here:

https://dev.to/raleighlittles/zjbox-tv-converter-remote-communication-guide-ha7

That page says "Channel UP" is

1722.105147: lirc protocol(necx): scancode = 0xbf06
1722.105169: event type EV_MSC(0x04): scancode = 0xbf06
1722.105169: event type EV_SYN(0x00).

hex to decimal converts 0xbf06 to 48902

And I bought this little gadget to capture IR codes:

https://www.amazon.com/Generic-Tv-Remote-Control-Decoder/dp/B00PP6GRPG/ref=sr_1_3?crid=X6NEVX2TVQEU&keywords=remote+control+decoder&qid=1702585365&sprefix=remote+control+decoder%2Caps%2C139&sr=8-3

which says CH Up is

sys 006F (whassis mean?)
data 06
format 6122A (whassis mean?)

Curiously, this gadget doesn't respond to the Fios remote control at all.

I tweaked Fios_remote.html in c:\slingerv401 . Tried 0xbf06 and the html fails. Tried 48902 and the html fails. I try "06" and nothing happens.

What am I missing here?

I think I found the missing piece of the puzzle. I was baffled by the key codes being simply a couple digits, like "60". I thought that there must be some prefix... some unique identifier... And then I remembered that the SB had certain remotes defined (like Fios). That's what's missing here. So I am taking a different path now. Going to try some little wifi-enabled... app enabled... wifi extender that includes a Learn capability. I will report back with my results.. some day.
