Well I'm a Dumb A$$ - I know that I have the software problem, I have just downloaded (again) the software for my TX1000 and it is apparently the old version with no live update.
Editor 1.10.105
Firmware 1.47
IR Db 1.80
Since I'm a programmer by trade, I didn't have any issues building the program I wanted and all the devices work from test, but none work after uploading the program.
Sounds like a known issue.
The reason that I'm not too smart is that I do not have the records for where I purchased the unit from, so I can't ask them for the latest version!
Since it's my fault, I'll gladly pay one of you Pro's to send me the newer stuff so I can get the unit functioning again. (it did work until I made some changes in the program)
