Possible to surf next favorites channel with a key press?

Post by markhs »

This is concerning a 15-2117 remote with a jp1:

Can I set the 'favorites' button to select the next channel in the favorites list with each key press?

Currently I can enter a list of commands (such as channel numbers or channel +/-) that are automatically fired off one after another. What I would like is to set my favorites button to surf to the next channel in my list of favorite channels with each press of the favorite button.

Is this possible?


Thanks once again...

Check the documentation on the "extender" for the 15-2116 and 15-2117.

Without an extender the fav list works only the way you just described its current behavior. With the extender, I think it works exactly the way you want, but I'm not sure.

In a few extenders I wrote, I know the fav list works as you want it (I think that's the only sensible way for it to work). I didn't write any 15-2117 extender, but I think much of the design of the 15-2117 extender was copied from one I wrote. I hope the fav list feature was included in what was copied.

Thanks, the extender does support this - looks like I have more learning to do. I will dive into this tonight.
