Am I the only person here who thinks it totally stinks that Eric started this thread in September and has not written a single response to any of this in three months? Of course, I haven't been to the other thread. Now if I go there and he hasn't responded there, either, I'd say just let URC go...return your remotes if you can. They surely thought they had a good idea but missed the mark so widely that they don't even know it.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything. "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place." -- G. “Bernie” Shaw
