You have raised an interesting question here, so I decided to do a little research and the following are my findings:-

The Motorola VIP 1003 uses either a standard NYX remote or a MRCU180 optional remote which has a keyboard one side and a normal remote the other side and will also support other TV and audio products including apparently B&O. However the MRCU180 was only announced by Motorola in September 2010 but does support almost every IR protocol you can think of.

The B&O PUC library supports several Motorola VIP products as below:-

• VIP1200      which uses 36 Khz Carrier Frequency with 32 bit Manchester Coding
• VIP1216      which uses 36 Khz Carrier Frequency with 32 bit Manchester Coding
• VIP1216E    which uses 36 Khz Carrier Frequency with 32 bit Manchester Coding
• VIP1910-9   which uses 56 Khz Carrier Frequency
• VIP1960      which uses 56 Khz Carrier Frequency with Philips RCMM protocol
• VIP1903      which uses 36 Khz Carrier Frequency with unknown protocol

If you are able to capture a IR command from your original remote, then we could be sure which, if any would work.

Hi and thanks for your help.

I managed to get my Motorola 1910 repaired instead of buing a new one. I learnt that 1910 and vip 1003 can not use the same remote so I thought, better repair than get a new box which might add an ugly remote 😳

Unfortunately I can not confirm that any of the listed stb-codes work with vip 1003
