Hello.
Is there anyone else which has a Thomson TV and control it with a Harmony Remote?

I've found a matching language for my Thomson TV, but 768 and original remote don't do the same thing with same IR. Here's some examples (during testing, I send this IR from AllCommands menu for TV in the Control Menu)

Ex1: The InputNext IR on orig remote ofcource sycle through the 3 AV-inputs. If I send InputNext from 768, the TV switch AV-input. If I then use InputNext one more time with 768, nothing happens. If I now use InputNext on orig remote, the Input-cycle continue as normal. If I send another IR (for instance Exit, which do nothing) between two InputNext, the Input-cycle goes as normal!

Ex2: My orig remote has many buttons with toggle manner. None of these do toggeling on 768. If I send Guide (which is a toggle IR) the Guide/teletext appear on TV. If sending Guide again, the Guide/teletext should disappear from TV, but nothing happens.

Ex3: If sending the Select IR from orig remote when watching TV, the Select IR act as a freeze IR and freeze the TV-picture. If sending Select again from orig remote, the picture un-freeze.
When doing this with 768 something strange happens: The first sending of Select DO freeze the picture. When sending Select again to un-freeze, the TV-picture is un-freezed a short while (about 0.5 sec) and then the picture is freezed again!! Do 768 send the IR more than once??

Ex4: If opening the TV OnScreen Menu and tries to navigate with 768, for instance Down, only the first Down is accepted.

The common thing with all these examples, is when sending the same IR twice, the Thomson respond to the
first one only.

I've studied the F.A.Q about "How do I change minimum number of infrared repeats sent?", and I've tried value 0, 1 and 5 for 1: This seems not to correct this problem.

I've also tried to digitize some "problem IR's" again, both with Raw and analysed method. This don't help either.

Do someone have an idea how to solve this problem?
