Thanks again. You are right that I need the arrow keys for the blu-ray player (lemonade from lemons wont fix my problem) . Your other idea to program a macro to an unused key will work for me and I probably wouldn't have considered it without your help, I really appreciate it. I guess its not possible to clear the all on/off key and reprogram the all on/off macro you suggested? Apparently the comcast remote is capable of a lot more than the manual says. I'll have to research UEI remotes to find out what else it can do. The comcast remote is really a nice remote if you can make it do what you want it to do. Unfortunately the manual that comes with it doesn't tell us much.
