I purchased a URC 8800 last night and I'm having trouble w/the learning process. I set one learning button from my Genral Instruments cable remote and it worked fine. When I went back to set the rest the remote said success for each one, but would not work. I deleted all of the info from the learning keys and tried again. This time nothing worked. So I removed the batteries for a few minutes and tried again. I set one button, tried it, it worked then and went back to set the rest and the same thing happened. I'm going to try and set them all during the same learning process tonight, but if I only get one shot at setting the learning keys it seems like a real hassle. Am I doing something wrong?

First off, removing the batteries doesn't automatically reset the remote as the programming is written to non-volatile memory. To reset the remote use the "Clear All" function which is found in the "Configure" section.

Anyway, have you found device codes for the components that your programming? If so, it might be a better idea to program the missing buttons using advanced codes instead of learning, that way you can program them to any button you like, not just the learning buttons.

Check out my web site for more info on this remote.
