IR Infrared 36khz reading random values

Other Hardware Sensors
1

I have a very simple setup in which my arduino board is reading IR remote signals using the Shirriff examples. My remotes seem to work as expected, except for the one I am actually trying to use. When I press any button, it returns random results. I have determine that the frequency is 36khz instead of 38khz, but that has not resolved my issue.

I have tried to receive the raw data and it looks "similar" enough, but now I am unable to send that data and have any affect on my cable box. The remote is an AT&T U-Verse remote and the cable box is an AT&T U-Verse cable box.

I have spent multiple days chasing my tail on this. Does anyone have any advice, test, or suggestions?

Thanks,
Jake

Yes, post your code, some sample (IRrecvDump example) output from IRremote....& model of IR receiver being used.

How do you know its 36kHz?

A common 36kHz signal is RC5 or RC6 and they have a 'toggle' bit which alternates between each key press.

I just had a look at a Uverse signal (not RC5/6), which does have a toggle bit & if your's is the same it will only work with IRremote using raw mode and then you will have to do a little bit of extra coding. In the signal I looked at, the timings are almost too short for the IRremote default settings.
