A "Menu", "up" and "right arrow" will take you to that menu you are looking for.

Well, thanks! You changed the way I was thinking about this.

I hadn't played with MENU yet. Turns out that the Netflix macro is
Menu
Left
That is, unless the Netflix icon moves. It might.

Later: Yup -- that works from watching a TV channel. If you're elsewhere in the menu, it won't get you Netflix.

Fins, if all you have is an IR remote, HOME is the macro:
MENU
UP
RIGHT
SELECT
But this, too, requires that you're watching a TV program when you start it.

It's better than nothing.

Options would be another code that would be handy to have. I had a guy yesterday ask about turning on closed captions. I had to dig to find it in the menu, but it comes up with the options button as a quick toggle. But it was late, I had a 2 hour drive, and knew I would be back up there in the near future, so I did not go closer to his neighbor's house (that we did an install in several months ago), get on his wifi, and look on the internets for the codes.

It is great that Dish is trying to be integration friendly. Hell, there is a C4 logo right there in the menu. Elan's forthcoming 2-way driver looks fantastic. But it is like they focused all of their resources there, and left those of us using dinosaur IR remotes, in the dark (pun intended). :)

I chose to use URC MX780/MRF350 on this job vs. Harmony Elite or Control4 EA-1 bundle (I took all 3 options with me), because 1. No internet at the home yet. 2. We were not involved with networking, so no idea what the wifi scenario will be when they do get internet. 3. Installed a Snap 2 ch. mini amp, connected to TV toslink out, and 2 in-ceiling speakers in the rear of the room. I asked if he wanted the sound to always come from those....he requested both with the option of adjusting volume independently on the TV speakers and the ceiling speakers. I knew that would be a programming kludge in C4 for sure....and just did not want to deal with the Harmony...especially with no internet....kind of throws a wrench in things.

Actually...
Netflix can be brought up with a Blue button, Right and Select.

The toggle for Close Caption is the Green button. At least on the Hopper 3 and it's Joey's, not sure about previous versions.

Start your macros with exit to make sure you are at the correct starting point. I'm waiting for the two way IP driver from Elan.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the color buttons since dish took them off the RF remote

I'll have to check this when I'm back there some time next week, but when I was fooling around with the Hopper I didn't find that EXIT always landed you in the same place.

And it's sure irritating to try to get back to TV from Netflix! IIRC, you have to exit, then scroll to the right six or seven times, then close Netflix. I never actually started a program so I don't know if it's even more complicated, but it might be.

Thanks for the help. It's really nice to know, Fins, that you're good for great sarcasm, which we all know, and the occasional rip, along with concise technical help.

I wasn't being sarcastic. Dish network receivers don't love IR control. And a cepro article recently said that dish is working with Elan and other control systems to create IP control.

I wasn't referring to your comments in this case as being sarcastic, but all the things you contribute here.
