What does the decoder do and is it essential? I set mine up, and it works great....I never installed the decoder

I don't really know. We had a friend do the installation and I didn't get any details. Ours is a bit cranky: it stops working sometimes when it rains.

According to the instructions the decoder is only necessary for green control boards. Blue boards do not need the decoder to work correctly. Mine did not need it.

I'm glad you warned me. I notice there are firmware upgrades on their site. But why would I have to upgrade a brand new player? One of them said it was necessary to listen to audible books? I hope not. I may very well get back to you with questions. Thank you again!

I can not answer your question mainly because I never did learn how to operate it successfully. That recorder was the absolute worst and most complecated machine I ever owned. If you have not purchased one yet you should make the store give you at least a two week free trail in your home. You may decide to purchase a different make. Mine still worked, but was so complicated I threw it away and purchased a Panasonic.

Decoding simply means an electronic communication between the camera and the battery regarding the current level of the battery power. Without proper decoding, the camera does not know what is the percentage of battery power remaining, so it keeps showing 100% full, where, in reality, it may be about to get over. When using WASABI batteries, the camera will keep showing 100% power, and suddenly the camera will no battery. As long as you have a spare (and charged) battery, this is never an issue for me.

I do not know if this will help, but I plugged in from my DVD source audio optical and into the input of the decoder and have good success. I have also used the coaxial connection from my DVD source and the decoder and that has worked as well. Good luck!

The receiver will receive the scrambled signal perfectly well. You can only watch if you unscramble the signal and that is not free.

As for the keygrabber. I wish I could tell you. I could never get any part of it to work. The company was on absolutely no help. I wish I could give you a better answer. I ended up buying a keylogger program and it was easier to use than the supposed plug-n-play.

Sorry, but that would be a great question for someone much more technical than i, I am just a user and got lucky, but several people chimed in to help and it worked perfectly. Also try YouTube for help installing, it was amazing and easy to do. Good luck.

I don`t know what you mean by decoded? However, mine work as well as the Olympus supplied OEM battery. You can`t charge using OEMhrger. You MUST charge using the one supplied with the two battery kit Testing $20.00 is worth it. ORDER IT!

Not to be funny but is the SD card inserted properly? I have forgotten to put it in and had this problem. With copterOn and sd card in you should see a red light on cam push the left chrome button on top of receiver and light should blink and turn green I believe copter is in garage so going off memory

There must be some type of universal code or compatible TV??????? I thought I read it used a Samsung interface but I am trying to program my main Direct TV remote so I don't have to use 2 remotes. Hopefully someone will chime in with compatible info or some type of legit workaround in the mean time I'm back to hacking and trying to call the toll free number.

I'm going to say no. I'm in the same boat and was wondering the same thing. It looks like this item only reads some codes, gives some vehicle data, but that's about it. You can't send commands through it (release EPB) or re-program existing functionality (needle sweep on start) of the vehicle. I'll be sticking with the more expensive one out there and know I have something that works. Charge people who want to use it to cover my cost.

Oops... I did the same thing. This is a dumb device - with a mechanical memory - only knowing 1 combination. I ended up cutting the cable. - Good news, it's a good lock - it was difficult to cut. I replaced with a number lock - I can remember -better. Sorry, Jim
