James,

Thanks for your time and effort with my questions.

I started with the device codes (like you mentioned), then manually put in any extra functions that weren't covered by the device codes. For example, with my receiver, I programmed all the functions from the number pad on its remote to my 2104 as these functions weren't included in the device code setup.

Your point about 995 being used on the favorite channels is putting me in the right direction... I was trying to put my command on the "s" keys. However, the function I'm trying to accomplish (go from TV to Video 4 with one touch) will only complete two of the four steps (leaving me on Video 2). It could be a function of the advanced code vs learned keys that you mentioned, so I'll give that a try too. Once I get this working, I'm looking to add in the button sequence to get my Sony TV to go from normal mode to 16:9 mode. Since this is 12 keys by itself, it will be on a second macro.

Thanks for the patience. I'll let you know how it goes...
