I was able to get many satellite functions to work using SAT code 0639. That OFA device code provided Chan up/down, Program Guide, cursor controls, Select, number digits, Live TV (Exit key on my remote), DirecTV Menu (Menu key), Display and more.
Then I learned the transport type controls (Play, FF, REW. Pause, etc.) from the Sony remote. I also learned some TiVo specifics, including Thumbs up/down, TiVo Central, etc.
I was programming my new OFA Cinema 7 (the newer learning verion).
I found the device code, 0639, at ...
[Link: hifi-remote.com] which is part of Rob's web site.
That web site is fantastic for understanding the flexibility of the OFA and RS programming, learning and Advanced Code opportunities. When adding functions to my remote buttons for my video and audio components, I was able to use Advanced Codes to program many buttons that I would otherwise have had to learn. This approach no doubt conserved memory, enabling me to implement as much customization as I wanted.
My mini/budget home theater gear includes an RCA DTC-100 HDTV/DirecTV set top box, a Hitachi 36 inch digital TV (with S-VGA inputs that accept the DTC-100 signals without an adapter, and, with progressive scan component video inputs and anamorphic squeeze viewing for DVD), a Sony SAT-T60 DirecTV TiVo recorder, a JVC S-VHS VCR, a Kenwood VR-407 digital A/V receiver, a Toshiba SD-5109 DVD/CD player and an old Sony carousel CD player.
BTW, I also own an RCA RCU810 learning remote. Its comparable code for a Sony satellite box is 0656, which gave the same set of functions on the RCA remote that code 0639 gave me on the OFA Cinema 7.
Standard device codes gave me most of the commonly-used functions on both the OFA Cinema 7 and the RCA RCU810. For missing functions, my first choice was to find and use Advanced Codes (for the Cinema 7; the RCA must use infrared learning instead). Last choice was IR learning from the original remote.
I attempted to program identical functions on both remotes to cover the most-used functions for my equipment. The OFA Cinema 7 accepted everything I entered, including two long macros. The RCA RCU810 accepted comparable macros, but soon ran out of memory before I was able to replicate all of the button functions that I previously programmed on my Cinema 7.
If you can't tell by now, I'm sold on the Cinema 7. My wife as tried both and finds the Cinema 7 more comfortable and more intuitive than the RCA RCU810. I previously tried the OFA Producer 8 (Home Theater), but found it too large to hold comfortably and too unfriendly, especially the need to use the shift key for some everday functions.
Good luck programming your remote!!
