JP1 Remotes

I am asking here here as the searching terms are rather generic and hard to search for.
What I am looking is to be able to use my OFA remote to write text on my Nvidia Shield TV. I was thinking that it would be cool if I'd be able to use the remote the way old phones were used to write text (multiple presses of the same key to enter any of the 3-4 letters assigned to that key). I am imagining that this could be done via an extender.
I just need someone to confirm me that this could work or not.

Thank you!

I am typing on a cell phone while bouncing down the interstate. A few years back our common area got a tv with a full alpha numeric keypad on the back of the remote. I was creating a backup for the remote because inthe common areas things often go missing. My approach was to use the extenders multi plex I changed out the values on 0-9 on the different setuo codes. When I went back to the common area the tv had been stolen!! I think my thread on this is in the leyboard forum.

Yeah, that looks like a possible solution...
But it would be slower than multiple key presses.
Thanks!

Loft, if this is for your URC-7980 it is very unlikely that there will be an extender for it in the foreseeable future.

It is for the 7980 and I'm very sure I'll have to wait a lot! He! He!
Maybe I should have made a better choice and buy something better supported half a year ago...
Anyway... I'll continue looking around...
Thanks, man!
