...snip... Although I love my old MX500, I don't make changes to the programming on it often enough to remember all the steps on each macro. Whenever I do, I need to re-invent the wheel so to speak, with a lot of trial and error, before arriving at a working version ...snip...
I always write down all steps taken in customizing the remote (saved in an excel spreadsheet). It saves a lot of work if you have to make changes (for example a new cable box).
ie.
Receiver code 245
TV code 72
Renamed label 'Antenna' to 'Xbox360' on Main page 2
Added label '3D' on TV page 2
Learned 'TV' remote '3D' button on TV page 2 '3D' soft button
Coded Macro on TV 'Poweron' button
1 - TV On
2 - Receiver On
3 - Cable Box On
4 - pause x4
5 - TV HDMI1 input
6 - Receiver Sat/Cable input
etc...
