I thought I had read the solution to this somewhere else, but damn if I can find it. I learned the IR codes for channels 0 - 9 for my Dish VIP211. This works fine if I enter a singel channel number within the "create channel macro" for a button. But when I try to enter, say channel 33 for a button, only a single 3 is accepted by the Dish receiver. I have tried experimenting with the duration ect. but to no avail. What am I doing wrong?

How about a delay between the 3s? Like:
Dish Ir 3
Delay .2
Dish Ir 3

Did you mess with that yet? extend the delay until you get 2 codes.

Edit:
Sorry... I haven't really transfered to the 9600... I just looked around the forum and it seems lots of people have issues with the macros.

The TSU9600 sends its signals much faster than the remotes in the Pronto NG line do. As such, I found that I had to add a .1 second delay action after each digit code in my XCF to ensure my equipment was able to keep up when receiving digit codes back to back. Adding delays in this fashion for channel macros is recommended anyway, though I've never needed to do this for the Pronto NG remotes I've owned. If your channel macros simply contain links to IR code buttons by the way the easiest thing to do is go to the action lists for each of your IR code buttons adding the .1 sec. delay action to each just after the learned IR code. This will save you from having to go to each of your channel macros adding the required delay actions in between each of the digit IR codes you are linking to.
