JP1 Remotes

I have one of the older Comcast 1067. Instruction sheet dated '03, 4 digit setup codes. I have macros programmed on the device keys and they work fine. Will the newer ones with the 5 digit setup codes still allow macros to be put on device keys?
I guess it would be useful if someone up on these remotes published a primer like the one Cap'n Trips did on the atlas...

All UEI remotes work basically the same way, aside from using different numbers of digits for the newer models. So as far as functionality goes, the atlas primer will apply to all. And the new models work the same way as the older ones. When you say you have macros on the device keys, I didn't think it was possible to put macros directly on any UEI remote's device keys without an extender. So I assume you're either using the extender or you mean you have macros on the shifted device keys. Either way, it still works the same in newer remotes, assuming an extender has been written for them.

No. A lot of UEIC remotes allow macros on device keys. I believe you have to use IR. I don't think you can key them directly....
By a primer, I meant a description of all the variants of Comcast 1067...

Atlas does, the older Comcast 1067 does......I don't remember when I did these, but I am pretty sure I had to use IR. I do not have ANY extenders.

Fair enough, but be aware that most UEI remotes do not allow macros on the device buttons, the ones that do are the exception.

As for a Comcast remote primer, I'm not very familiar with them, but it seems that there are only three that can get mixed up (from RM's drop-down menu and comparing images). The 1067, 1068 and 1067B3X. The 1067B (the JP1.3) has a RED OK button, while the 1067 and 1068 have a black one (and I don't know how to tell them apart aside from reading a label somewhere or attempting a download) . If there are more variants with other differences then I'm unaware of them.

I am working on the newer (JP1.3) one now . How can I clear out the 'ALL ON" key? It behaves like it is hard programmed into the remote. My friend doesn't want that functionality and I want to do a different power macro on it, but it won't take.

I don't know much about the JP1.3 Comcast remote. I had one for a while until I fired Comcast, so I'm not paying too much attention to it.

however, I seem to remember from when I was looking at that one, or maybe it was another JP1.3 remote, that the all-on is a pre-defined function that you can't change. Essentially when that key is detected, it injects a macro into the macro buffer that does a dev-power-dev-power-dev-power then tells the remote to go execute the macro.
