In cases where the built-in code does not meet your needs,
the best thing to do is create a new upgrade by learning all
the commands from the original remote, or download an
existing upgrade from the File Section and tweek it to your
liking.
Exceptions are:
(1) When you only need to add one or two commands, it
may be better to simply add keymoves for these, since an
upgrade uses a fixed amount of memory (plus one or two
bytes per command) while keymoves are strictly 5 (or in
some cases 6) bytes per command.
(2) If you are tight on upgrade space, you may want to
use keymoves instead, to free up some upgrade memory.
If you're using an extender, it is unlikely you will have to
worry about upgrade space, but some people like myself
with lots of equipment, complicated setups, or devices that
require custom protocols, the limit may be reached. |

But the VAST increase in Keymove/Macro space (in extended learning remotes) can easily (usually) accomodate any shortcomings in upgrade space through judicious/creative use of keymoves. _________________ Beginners - Read this thread first

Thanks for the correction, Capn. I should've checked my facts first. |
