Jack, Reprogram it like so:

Power rcvr first
Power TV and all commands
Power Sat last (to reamin in this device mode)

If you look above, you are using 8 commands just for 3 devices. For my satellite macro, I set it up so that sat rcvr was selected last to allow continued operation of those controls but it goes like this: RCVR Power, 4 (audio input), TV Power, 02 (channel) Channel Down (selects Input 2), DBS Power. Now count them. Ten commands! I hope I read your story right and this helps you.
