hi,

maybe this tool will help (you may find it somewhere outside Germany):

[Link: reichelt.de]

you can convert a RF signal from your device (if it does not use IR) into an IF signal, which you learn then with the Pronto. Afterwards you switch the learned equipment to RF over and you can use the appropriate equipment without the "pyramids".

This worked for me for an exotic device - the experts should correct me if i understood the question in a wrong way.

hope this helps

cheers
