Simple system. marantz AVR, Oppo, ATV, an ADB cable box (fiber service), and a Samsung OLED.

Equipment was crammed in a little cabinet. cable box kept acting like it was overheating and would have to have the power pulled to reboot.

After trying all the logical choices, including swapping cable boxes, I finally found problem. The up command in the URC database was causing the cable box to lock up and do hang in a reset.

Anyone ever seen this before?

After the second cable box, and it happened every time in the guide.

Good catch. You'll have to learn the command from the factory remote. Since URC can't show the hex code, you can't very well send the command to URC for them to fix their database. Too bad.

I found the EXIT command for the DirecTV HR25 doesn't work, either, but luckily that was early on. And do you suppose they're going to be able to fix it?

Is there a path with URC for the database to be corrected?
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

There are some little nasties in their serial database that will make CCP lock up as well. No answer for the ADB cable box that's a new one. Only ADB I ever knew of was American drilling and boring... Who got a conduit under this ladies driveway for me but hit a sprinkler line with their hand shovels. Bastards never fessed up and I had to spend the afternoon repairing their mess. Grass died and everything.

Even though everytime I talk to someone from there they tell me that there are 6 guys working in that department and database is their sole job
