Was I ripped off??

I finally located a 2117 and brought it home. Some stuff worked but I was having lots of touble getting the Tivo keys working. I then noticed that the back of the remote says 15-1995. This remote is a 7-in-1 IR/RF with LCD so it seems similar to the 2117.

It explains why some of the keys don't match the manual (Home Theatre vs My System).

The blister pack was unstapled but it doesn't look used. There was a macro and timed macro programmed which I was wondering about.

Is this worth keeping for the $15 I spent? It does seem more advanced then my 1994's.

Thanks,
Gary

That's interesting. Someone obviously pulled a fast one on RS by returning their old 15-1995 in place of the 15-2117 that they bought.

Yes, the 15-1995 is still a good a good deal at $15, but it has all the same limitations that the old Producer 8 series have. Plus, it doesn't have learning. (It's not more advanced than your 15-1994 though)

I have a couple questions about this 15-1995 that I have not seen discussed in the forum. There are some buttons that are on the remote that I don't see in the KM buttons sheet. Are they not programmable?

Shift
Escape
Audio
Video

Thanks

SHIFT is just used to access the official shifted buttons (ie, the ones that are labelled on the remote itself).

ESCAPE is just used to exit the on screen menus.

AUDIO and VIDEO are macro buttons that can also be programmed using keymoves. They should be available in KM unless Mark missed them.

Oh, sure... blame me! :eek:

That oversight will be fixed in the next release.
