Well let's see, there are only 4 major device types (TV, VCR, CBL and Audio), all the other device types are subsets of those, and the UEI numbering scheme only allows for setup code numbers up to 2047, so the maximum number of active setup codes is 8,188. I say "active" because they often retire old codes and replace them with new ones.

Better sharpen your pencil there Rob (too much Sudoku perhaps?). Surprised

The maximum would be 2048 * 4 = 8192! Wink

why would I want to change a protocol?


In some cases there is more than one protocol choice in KM or RM that can generate the same set of signals. Typically those differ in what kind of additional signals could be combined into the same upgrade (varying subdevice etc.).


A simple example is the NEC codes, one just repeats the entire code, the other sends the code once and sends a repeat code.

Actually, I think John was thinking of cases where there might be combo versions of a protocol available in addition to the standard version (eg, Panasonic, Sony, etc). These are cases where the signals created are exactly the same, even though the selected protocol is different.
