HDTV "." command

[es114]

Is there any slick way to incorporate the "." command when accessing HDTV channels to my RS 2116? Understand you can learn the command and place on an unusued key. Just thought there might be some other solution.

Thanks,

Solution #1: program it to a real button.
Solution #2: program it to a phantom button and just use it in macros.

Keep in mind that most of us here have no idea what that button does, heck, we don't even know what brand/model the device is that it goes with, so we're not going to be able to offer much help based on the info provided.

It is the delimiter command, OBC 29, device code 151 for a sony HDTV. Already programmed to a button. Don't believe phantoms would work. Can the number buttons on the remote be programmed to include the actual number, the delimiter and then another number? So a "5" on the remote would always prompt "5.2"?

That sure sounds like a macro to me. However, I'm guessing that you wouldn't want a macro like this to run in every device mode (which is would, because macros are global) so you could use the DSM (Device Specific Macro) special protocol to create a macro that only runs when the remote is in HDTV mode.

I'd m ap that to the +100 button (Does the 2116 even have one?).
