Jack,

I've counted the total # of your macro keystrokes
is 16. That would exceed the remote control limitation.

" :
Press TV + Pwr keys Turns TV on (2 commands)
Press Sat + Pwr keys Turns Sat on (2 commands)
Aux1 + 9 keys Turns Sony A/V Receiver to DSS Station. (2 commands)
Press TV key 4 times. This is a delay. (4 commands)
Press TV + 3 (Any channel number) Set channel 3 active. (2 commands)
Press ENTER key. Sends channel 3 signal. (1 command)
Press A/B (The number of times you need for Video input-1, etc, ect.) (assuming 1 command)
Press Sat key + channel number you want up first. (2 command)
