Mike - I did try a quick tap and a long tap for the UCommand learning cycle - neither worked.

What did work for me was using the smart keys on a Radio Shack 15-1994, programming them with the Angstrom remote, then programming the UCommand with the RS remote. It does work but it was a bit of a kludge.

Otherwise, the UCommand is fine with my Acurus ACD-11, Pioneer 525 DVD, Sony VCR and Panasonic TV.

The best part was my wife was able to pick it up the UCommand, figure out how to control everything and then say - could you get rid of those other remotes? :)
