Well the wierd thing is that I'm just duplicating what I've been doing with my other 2104 (whose backlight stopped working).

I even tried writing all zeros to the new 2104 and then re-uploading my existing setup again. Still to no avail. The new 2104 wants only to control my TV for punchthrough and nothing else.

Last night I manually diabled volume punch through on everything (which it should have already been because of my previous setup) and all this did was make the remote want to only control my cable box for VPT. So I remapped my cable volume keys to my amp and this worked for a while. Then this morning it didn't anymore (at least I'm 95% sure of that --- it was a little late when I thought I had it working!).

How about this... is there any reason whatsoever (especially since I overwrote the whole memory with 00000s first) that I shouldn't get the SAME EXACT results when writing over the new remote with my old setup (both are of course 15-2104s)???????

(My 2117 was shipped two days ago and I can't wait, frankly).
