The first device I programmed when I finally received my MX-1000 was my TiVo on the AUX device. I tried the published code for "Tivo" but it didn't work at all...so I designed some screens with the PC software and proceeded to learn the codes...
Well, it's going well, for the most part. But strangely when I learn one code for a button, another one quits working. I can recreate this problem reliably by programming a TV power button (for my Sony TV) and the code for the "TiVo Central" button quits working...or rather it starts working as another button. This sometimes happens with other buttons as well. I haven't seen any problems with the hard buttons at all, their learned codes seem to stick.
Has anyone else had this problem with TiVo learned codes or other devices? Am I doing something wrong? I haven't yet tried setting up another device, but that's what I'm going to do next and see if I have similar problems or if it's just related to AUX/Tivo.

What kind of TiVo do you have? Philips or Sony?

That's probably why the pre-programmed code doesn't work. The Sony and Philips TiVos have different IR codes, and the Sony came out after the Philips.
As to why you're having trouble learning the codes, I'm not sure. It seems other people are having trouble learning codes for other things, too. Maybe there's some trick to getting it to work well?

The Sony TiVo is a very new device... but since it uses standard Sony codes, I don't know why you'd have trouble learning. Are you following the directions exactly, ie. holding the button down until it says release?

Just for comparison, I have a Philips Tivo, and have had no problems learning the codes - occasionally their would be a failure, but it would learn with a try or two and I have had no problems with it once the codes were learned.

Have MX1000 on the way - and a Sony TIVO in place. Noting the above, has anyone come up with a preprogrammed code for the Sony? Would appreciate a post if so.

Um, doesn't look like it exists. I'd try learning... I honestly can't see any reason for there to be problems.
