7800ext2 macro help

Post by FishGuy72 »

OK, I've got one last elusive issue with my 7800 using ext2.

I want to basically assign Macro2 to do the following:
TV, Power, RCV, Power, CBL/SAT

If I do that manually on the remote it works and it works with the non-extended. However trying it in ext2 with the following doesn't work (with our without pauses):
P_TV;Power;P_RCV;Power;CBL/SAT

Can anyone help?

There are only three keys in the PIP set, which is the P_xx keysets. I'm pretty sure that Power is not one of them.

I'd have to go look at the code to tell you which set it's in, but my guess is that it's in the Menu set (which is the default if the key isn't found elsewhere)

Try using M_TV, etc. If that doesn't work, try T_, but I'll bet it's in the M_set.

Thank you very much for the solution. Somehow my brain was thinking P_TV, P_RCV, etc was accessing the power buttons!

Wow!!! How could I have missed that? Either too much caffeine... or too little?!?

Works great now.

Thanks Again!
