Hmmm, the actual results would seem to support your posted
prediction.
Not the way I read it.
I though a remote sending as unit 0 would operate all Tivo units.
You're saying a Tivo (we assume set to unit 0) is operated by all remote units.
After pasting several of the hex codes, I noticed that
several of them actually reduced to one small line of
hex, and some of them stayed full length.
I didn't look to see what is imperfect about the ones that stayed full length. Since your version of ProntoEdit is one that recognizes and condenses these signals it would do so for any signal close enough to perfect for it to recognize.
ProntoEdit is much pickier about recognizing a signal than the Tivo itself is. Obviously all of these are close enough to perfect that the Tivo doesn't care.
I did not set or change any remote code settings on the
receiver, and yet all eleven worked.
I think there is some setting on the receiver that would get it to behave the expected way of only accepting unit 0 and one other.
But in case anybody needs the reduced code, I'll provide
it below.
... for unit 3 it was
900A 006D 0000 0001 8530 35C3
Notice the pattern. All the reduced codes are the same except for the last digit which is the unit number.
That will also be true of all other commands (not just power toggle) for this device. The condensed form of Pronto hex will alway start
900A 006D 0000 0001 8530
followed by a 2 digit command number
followed by a one digit check code (which depends on the first digit of the command number)
followed by the unit number.
