This has been discussed 1850485043254 times in the URC forum. This is also heavily mentioned in every TC training course, which is required to get the line. So I will answer this but would like to know why so many people get the line without training?

You have removed the device power command for at least one of the devices in your macro. The device power commands MUST be present or the remote will jump back to the main menu. TC tracks via these commands.

In his defense it's easy to forget this once or twice even after training, at least I did.

It's worth mentioning that also for proper page jumping and tracking to happen, not only must you have connected data on the ON and OFF side of each device power macro, you must have some kind of WORKING IR/232/IP command being sent.

If, for example, you have a cable box with no discrete power, you are not using sensors and if/else statements and you're just wanting it left on all the time, you MUST still have some kind of real commands there, even if they're from some imaginary device from the database you're not really using. In other words, drag a command over into your driver's Power on/Power off lines from a random device in the database the cable box won't respond to.
