Update on URC-8820 - new FAV Problem?

[greenrl]

Much progress has been made on my use of the extender for the URC-8820B00 with some Toad Togs to track the power ON/OFF states for some devices. The TTs are required to allow or skip a Pause for TV power up, to allow selection of Vol and Mute to be either TV or AUD depending on whether or not the AUD is on or off, and to provide discrete power off for the PVR. I can report that it is working as designed.

However, last night I accidentally pressed the FAV button (in the dark) and the remote started cycling through all of the TV channels, and I could not get it to stop except by removing a battery. This happens regardless of what device mode the remote is in. So:
1) I certainly don't want to do that again,
2) I want to remove this behavior,
3) If allowed to continue, the batteries would be depleted,
4) No changes to the TV settings alters this.

What I have tried that did not work:
1) Changed the FAV command to 00000
2) Removed the Keymove for FAV

Any help is appreciated.

There is an issue with the FAV key on this extender. If there is nothing assigned to the FAV key it falls into the default FAV processing.

Here are 2 methods for making a correction

1)Personally I like to use that FAV button for the Shift button since the Shift button is recessed and badly located on that remote.

Fav key = $18
Shift key =24
Alt Shift key =152

2) You can put a do nothing macro on the key FAV
Fav:=X_Cancel
Then pressing it won't do anything.

Thanks, Vickyg. I put the NOP macro on the FAV button and that solved the problem (so far...)
