Atlas 5 w/Extender

Post by tbuck410 »

http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... le_id=2230

I have an Atlas 5 from the cable company (TWC), as you can see from my file there are no keys mapped for the cable box SA8300HD, device 1800, but all the keys work. Is it in a ROM area of the remote? I tried installing an upgrade for the cable box but then I couldn't get the extender to install. Would I be better off just buying a modified 6131?

Cable/1800 is there as a "dummy" upgrade for the key move on the Select button. The Cable device button is set to Cable/1877 which is why the buttons work. Does the Select button actually perform a function in Cable mode?

Yes the select button does have a function, "select", in cable mode. So how do I fix it?

I'm not sure I follow what it is you're trying to do... :?

Does the Cable device (Cable/1877) work?

Are you trying to change the layout of Cable/1877?

Did you add the Cable/1800 upgrade, or was it already in the remote (doubtful since the key move has a Note of "still")?
