I have the Nikkai Remote Control IR Repeater which I purchased from Maplin just before Christmas and it worked wonderfully with my DVD player and my old Sky Plus box as these are kept in a wooden cupboard with solid doors. I have this week upgraded to SKY HD and the Nikkai Remote Control IR Repeater does not work despite me locating the receiver on a number of different places on the box.

When I point my remote at the Nikkai Remote Control IR Repeater the red flashes but alas nothing changes on the Sky HD box. I have read on another forum that my Sky HD box may be sending via IRda rather then plain IR. If this is the case is there anything I can do to get it to send in IR or if not can anyone shed any light why my Nikkai Remote Control IR Repeater does not work with Sky HD.

There are threads/posts about IR vs IRDA on Sky HD boxes all over this and other forums. A post by simonpoulton on sky user 09-09-10, 03:44 PM seems to explain it well (for video sender also read IR repeater). 'I believe the remotes all output both IR and IRDA signals and certain boxes only work with IR and certain ones only work with IRDA. So the remote sends an IR and an IRDA signal to the video sender, video sender chucks away the IRDA one and sends the IR one box receives it and because it doesnt support IR doesnt respond.'

OneForAll universal remotes are made by Universal Electronics BV, who also make all Sky+ and Sky HD remotes. It would explain why their universal remotes work with Sky. There are other universal remote brands of course. There are threads/posts about IR vs IRDA on Sky HD boxes all over this and other forums.

Click to expand.I believe this is because Universal Electronics BV incorporated the same IRDA capability into the Sky+ and Sky HD remotes which is used in many of their OneForall universal remotes. It only seems to be a problem when using some video senders and IR repeaters (usually Nikkai). From what I have read in these cases, trying a Sky+ remote instead of a Sky HD remote didn't work, presumably this is the same as setting a Sky HD remote to Sky+ mode.

Also, I would like to know if it is possible to operate a Sky+ and Sky HD box in the same room, with 2 Sky HD remotes, 1 set to Sky+ only mode, and the other set to Sky HD only mode? An example of a video sender which is not IRDA compatible, and doesn't work with some Sky+/Sky HD boxes. 'Most Freeview boxes, DVDs, VHS, etc. Remotes will work with this. The remote may not fully function with certain Sky+, Sky HD or Virgin+ set-top boxes.

You can always send/receive the Audio/Video signal, but the remote relay for this item only functions with IR (Infrared) remotes and some of these Set Top Boxes use IrDA (Infrared Data Association) for their remotes, which means you wouldn't be able to use the remote control to change the channels from the receiving location. THIS IS NOT A FAULT and you should confirm whether your transmitter uses IrDA before bidding, or decide that if it does, whether you mind changing channels directly in the transmitter room rather than being able to use the remote from the receiving room.' I have the nikkai 5.8ghz sender and whilst yes it really drive me mad when I bought it I quickly realised it does work. Top picture transmitted but no remote signal.

So I played around with it for ages and consulted this forum, IR & IRDA?!? Works on new and old sky+ HD boxes (I have both) turn the antennas nikkai side out and point them at each other. They antennas feel like they only go so far but won't rotate but they do click all the way round. If someone says IR & IRDA again on this forum I'm going to explode it's all rubbish rubbish rubbish!!
