    Ok, I reported his messages as spam. He repeated this same message 3 times in 1 week, so I guess he's looking to gain something from it. Do you get money or something if people use your code ?

    Thanks Phantoman. I will take a look at the tvpadfans website... if i can register...

    Let me know how it goes with your Tavle S IR Port.

    Regards

    Jay

    "I have the Sony Tablet S with built-in IR which has a learning mode as well. I'll give it a try with that and see. Not that it will really help you, but at least you will know if it's supposed to work or not.

    It might also be worth it to ask this guy here if you know how to navigate the TVPad official forum: http://tvpadfans.com/thread-1730-1-2.html"

    Finally back from my long vacation in HK (more than a month). It seems a lot of things happened. The channels in the 百合电视 app are currently still not working and there are some new apps (Youtube, Youku and a sports app). I hope they will fix the channels in the 百合电视 app soon. Time to test the new apps.

    Waw, I wish I could take such a long vacation ... actually I wish I would win the damn lottery and take a life-time vacation :) Welcome back though, for a moment I thought we lost you :)

    Just buy Facebook stocks when it comes out in 2 weeks. Everyone's grandmothers and grandfathers will be buying it. You should be rich in about a year ;)

    Just FYI, all Logitech Harmony remotes can learn the commands of the TVpad remote.
    You can also use any Samsung Tablets and newer Samsung smartphones as a remote for your TVPad.

    Thanks for the advice. Coincidentally I did open a trading account a few months ago which I never had the time to use yet :) Maybe they should add a trading app on the TVPad, lol

    Thanks for the tip re remotes. Is there any way to get the hex values for the power on/off. That's the only function I cannot get to work.

    Phantoman - I think that app is called "电视精灵".
    Here is some info about it: link. It is the last app on the page.
    Depending on what firmware you have, you can download it from here: link.
    If you have the 2.70 firmware, you can download it here. Download the ".rar" file. It is the #11 app.
    I don't have this app yet. Let me know if it is worth downloading for my TVPad.

    Check out this guy's webpage or his forum. He was able to map out each TVPad remote command for the Slingbox, which I think is pretty smart. Maybe you can ask him for the hex values on his "tvpadfans" forum.

    Great find! I have not seen this website with all the apps before. I'll give the app a try later on and see.

    I tested this with my tablet and it was able to receive the code for the power on/off button. Unfortunately I see no way to get the hex code from my app. Btw, the first time it didn't work. Had to reprogram it for a 2nd time for it to receive the proper code.

    Thanks.

    No, not possible. I read somewhere that it used to be possible with older models, but they removed it due to some issues. I believe this feature has been requested again for the next firmware version (3.0), but not sure if it will be implemented.


    *** Attention ***
    It has come to my attention that the discount codes for the TVPad are making money for people that own those codes. Whether they are getting rich with it I don't know, but to be honest I do not see it as a bad thing since you also get $30 discount when you order. Now there is one such code on the main page of this thread, but it's not mine, so I am not getting rich with it. There are lots of these codes floating around on the Internet, so feel free to use another one if you prefer. Even the one from chyshum, because you might help him to realize his dream of finally buying that sports car :) The only thing I am asking is NOT to spam the thread with your codes!!! Thanks.

    All the available apps should be in the microSD card. Or you could download them again (see the FAQ in the first page).
