That last comment might very well be true!! :-)... Interesting, it seems to skip the middle number.... So, for instance, I put in Nick Jr. which is 301 on Direct TV... It seem to go to 31... Although this not consistent... Sometimes it just does 3.... And sometimes it goes to 301... I have tried changing the timing... I did a .5 second delay between each... I did a .1 delay too... I also change the repeat command settings... I did a minimum repeat of 3, 4, 5... I also went the other way... I also tried turning off the repeat while pushing down and holding... Nothing has really helped... It is inconsistent... Now, the other commands on the DVR work fine (i.e. menu, guide, etc..) it seem to just be the numbers...
