The codes work. Ernie, this is not directed at you but I've noticed a lot of people write in looking for complete solutions and don't seem to have any skill at teaching/learning IR codes to remotes. There are so many variables from batteries to environment that make it an art form at times. Problems are overcome with experience that is usually gained through a frustrating and painful time consuming process. If you think NET Command sucks try the Adcom Ball control system. LOL
