Just bought an Avany 32 VCR of ebay to replace my dead LS5500 ( previous post) it has an STB which has the old firmware and will req an updated eprom.

It doesn't have an IR cable, will any IR blaster cable with a 3.5mm jack do the trick ( like this one on ebay    270319119928  )

Also by installing the IR cable will it enable to use the remote control ( with the digi boxes own remote) with the box hid behind , or is it all tied in to the STB ?

Cheers

Hi Steve, I re-read your question and now think I may have misunderstood it slightly... The box will need to "see" its original remote by itself, the STB-C will not "relay" the commands from the original remote. Therefore, if you have the box completely hidden behind the Avant, you may have to stand up and get closer if the original remote isn't very powerful. On the other hand, the signal might mirror enough from the wall behind - the only way to know is to try it.
