sorry if this has been asked before.....i have a mx980
and out of all my devices(directv,receiver,wii,ps3,tv,ipod
dock) the 360 is the only one whos doesnt turn on and
off consistantly...i got the codes from the database and
have variables to track its state but it only works about
75% of the time...sometimes wont turn on..sometimes wont
turn off.....my macro is good and it happens using ir
and with a mrf350.....question is there a way to send
the power command for a certain duration and if so how
to do it...ive also tried the sensitivity on the base
station and that didnt help.....but once the 360 is on
my remote will control all the functions flawlessly..
thanks in advance
i actually have the same issue however i would say it wrks at least %90 of the time. my work around, and i now much prefer it, is to make a separate power toggle command on your WATCH page. i not only have a designated page under WATCH with ALL my device power toggles, but just to avoid pressing needless buttons i've also assignd the 360 power toggle aswell as my dvd power toggle to the channel up/down buttons on the main WATCH page. this way i can power the unit up before even firing the macro to change inputs, which saves me watching the 360 boot up screen. i power it on, then wait 5 seconds before firing the command.
as mentioned i also do this with my dvd player as it also takes a few seconds to boot up.
not the fix you were looking for but a good work around IMO. all the best!
