Once I have added a new page for a device (e.g. TV, DVD,etc.), and have completed adding all the functions (e.g. buttons, etc.). Can't I just go back into that page (ie.same device, model, etc.) and add more function to that page? It seems like I always have to create a new page and start over. I must be missing something....Thanks.

I'm not sure what you are referring to here. Are you adding to the command library, or to the RTI function configuration?

If it's the library and you're using the unofficial, undocumented, unreleased and unsupported (get the drift?) hex editor then the answer is no. You can append new learned codes to a library by adding them with the text editing tool then using the learn tool.

If it's the button configuration, you just add buttons to one of the 12 frames.

OK. This is what I was doing. I was trying to add my TiVo remote control to the IR Library, so I took the following steps (please let me know if this is not what I'm supposed to be doing):

1. In Theater Design, I went to the IR Library Manager.
2. In the IR Library, in Edit View mode, I added my TiVo. This is where the Manufacturer, Type, Model info need to be entered.
3. Then I added the Functions (buttons to be learned). For example, 0,1,2.....Volume+, Volume-
4. Once I am finished with adding the Functions on my remote, I used the Learn IR command. This is where, I have my T2 hooked up to the PC while I'm learning each IR command from my TiVo remote. Each function is assigned a Red Dot after it has learned the command.
5 Once I finished learning all the commands, I pressed OK on the Edit View page and I am finished.

Now the problem is if I had forgotten to add a function to that IR Device page (ie. Philips, Digital Recorder, TiVo HDR112), I can't seem to find how I can simply go in and say add a Play function, without having to create a whole new Philips, Digital Recorder, Tivo with a different model number. Does this make sense?

Hope that explains my issue.

Joe,

Indeed, adding functions is a little tricky. Same is true for deleting a funtion...more than once I accidentally deleted the whole remote.

Anyway, to add functions to an existing remote library, select the remote, then click the "Edit Text" button. Once you have added your new functions, you can use the "Learn IR" button to tech the IR commands for your new functions.

Joe,

Arjen explained how to use the edit text tool. You should hopefully be in business. Yes, I have also deleted a whole library in the beginning. That's what happens when I automatically click on the OK of the dialog boxes that pop up :-).

Thanks guys. I don't know what I would have done without your support. It helps relieve my frustration when I can at least post my questions to you. Anyway, I will try the Edit Text. But I think the Edit Text is for editing an already added function (e.g. Play). I don't think it allows adding a new function without replacing the ones already added. Am I wrong?

Yup. Give it a shot. When you press the "Edit Text" button, you get a new window. Type your new function in the "function" drop-down box and press enter (or click "Add". When you exit the window, you will see the new functions in the list, without the red dot. Next you can learn IR commands to these functions. Despite a few minor peculiarities, you gotta love this software.
