Anyone run into this yet? I had a customer over the weekend upgrade their cable to HD with DVR, they have Comcast as a provider. The converter is a Motorola (not sure of the model). They were supplied with a U.S. Electronics universal remote which has OnDemand and DVR function buttons. I tried to use the learn method on my laptop and could only get the Power Button to work! Any suggestions?
Thanks!

You will need to use a slight Macro hack to get the on and off to work correctly:

On would be:

Menu
delay
Toggle Power
delay
Toggle Power

Off would be:

Menu
delay
Toggle Power

You'll need to test the delay, but 1 second is more than enough!

You may want to update your MX software because the DCT-6208 is an option under Cable in the IR section. If the cable box is another model number not on the list you should still try these codes.

Thanks for the replys. I guess I forgot about the software update (duh!) That should do it.

I've done two so far with no problems, either learning or preprogrammed.
