Does anyone know how to program the Home Theatre device button on a OFA8910 remote with the extender? I am trying to program it so that a short key press will just do its normal function(setting up the remotes various buttons by group function, Volume, Transport, Channel, etc.) and a long key press will change my tv's video input and turn on the dvd player, etc. In IR, in the Special Protocol Functions, what would you enter for the Device & Key?
The Home Theatre device button doesn't show up in the drop down device list. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It doesn't show up in the "Device list" because it's not a device. It certainly DOES show up in the Keymove, or Macro, or Special Protocol functions tabs dropdowns as a selectable option for your "Bound" key, and that's what you're trying to do.

Then what would I enter for the Device in Spcl Prot Fns? Would I just enter TV? Then I wouild press tv and then a short or long key press to activate the various macros?

If you want ANY press of the Home Theater button to actuate an LKP Special function, here's what you need to do:

Create the LKP on any button you want in any device you want. I recommend doing it on, for example, TV device mode's x-shifted Phantom 3 button.

THEN create a Macro on the Home Theater button as follows:
DEV_TV, x-shift Phantom 3. Voila! The HT button has a universal LKP on it.
