I have a PVR that takes ages to turn on (a Beyonwiz). I've set up a macro that turns on the PVR, counts down by jumping to different pages with the seconds on them and then switches to the HDMI imput on the TV, by which time the PVR should have booted.
I've put a .2 second delay after each jump. However, the switch command is being issued before the full time has elapsed. It appears to be counting the delays but not the time for each jump. However, if I increase the delays the jumps take longer but the switch code is still issued too early.
Can someone provide some advice?

You will have to put in longer delays if the code is being sent before the device is ready to receive it, try putting in a .50 second delay between each step in your macro, if it works, then reduce the delays and test until you get it perfect, if it still doesn't work increase the delays.
Alternatively, move the problem code further down the macro.
It's a case of trial and error i'm afraid, have had to do this on many occasions to get it right.
cheers, Adam.

No, I'm not using an extender. It is the latest firmware 3.8.17.
I found a thread and it talked about breaking the 'animation' pages into groups of 10 and putting them in different devices. This seems to have worked.

Can you please post a link back to the thread you found so that others can reference? If it is the thread I'm thinking of (many threads I have seen here), the author is Carlton Bale?

Sure, it was a thread by Carlton Bale. It is the top entry on P2 by joeyd27
Anyone else experience these bugs on the TSU7000?

what does this statement mean?
surely the remote can only count the delay, what do you mean by 'the time for each jump'?

I have 22 jumps followed by a delay. If each jump takes .5 sec and the delays are .2 sec it should take 15.4 seconds for it to execute the macro before it gets to the step that switches the input source on the TV. However, the switch is being executed after about 5 seconds (which is the length of the delays).

22 X 0.2 = 4.4 seconds
Increase the Delay.
The Time taken for Jumps has no relevance.
Cheers

Well, sometimes they do. It works inconsistently. Also, if I increase the time of the delays the jumps are too long. I'll play around and see if I can get an 'optimal' combination.

the file you've sent me has 16 delays of 0.6s each, so just shy of 10sec total, is that the total delay you need?
