The problem with the URC database is that way it is organized into arbitrary categories that haven't been updated to reflect modern devices and also the fact that they try to have every model number in existence for a given product even if the codes are duplicated 100x over.

Another problem is that you select a codeset by model number, but when you look at the programming later, that model number is not in the file.

That codeset might be used for twenty to a hundred models, and it seems that the file refers not to the model number you chose, but to the first use of that codeset in the list of models. This is confusing.

If you want to drop the model number that I've chosen, then just give me the number of the codeset. Don't lie to me about what component I chose!
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
