Dish Network Platinum Remote

I've got a dish pvr 721 with the platinum remote. I took the case off last night and it looks like I have a spot for jp1 that has traces connected to it. I'm attaching a picture to get an opinion of whether or not this thing is JP1 compatible. The whole reason I want to change the codes is to add a volume code for my Philips FR965 receiver. I may just opt for a URC6131 and be done. Thanks in advance for any help.

The standard JP1 pinout is:
while that picture shows:
Given that, I don't think it's a UEI/JP1 remote.

I don't see the same six labels Mark sees. I see JP3, JP2, JP1 each of which seems to be an independent 2 pin jumper position.
But I agree that it is NOT the 6-pin JP1 connection we need, even if it is the same physical layout of six holes in a remote's PC board.

I saw the same 3 labels as you John. I then made the assumption that the other 3 would either be 4, 5, and 6, or individual jumpers like you said.

Thanks guys!!!
Looks like I'll pick up that 6131 I've been looking at.

You do realize that the 6131 is not JP1-enabled out of the box, correct?

Yep...no prob though...will most likely send it in to have it upgraded to work with some of my "special" components.

If you want a JP1-ready URC-6131, I have them available for sale.
