JP1 Remotes

Joe,

Were you successful in doing this? I want to do exactly the same thing and looking for some pointers.

Can I make the Replay & TV buttons to be non-power on/off button, instead, it just selects that device and have another button I would sacrifice (maybe the ...

I recently upgrade to a Replay 5k from a Showstopper. I hate this new remote (at least compared to the old one).

I have a question to other replay 5k users out there:
What button do you use to change the video input of the TV?

I used my JP1 cable to make the mute button as my tv/vcr button of my ...
