An example of a macro where this occurs is my macro for the DIRECTV DVR as a press and hold macro:
1. TV ON
2. AMP ON
3. SAT ON
4. DELAY ON (audio delay for TV)
5. AMP SRC SAT
6. DELAY INPUT A
7. TV WAIT (wait for DLP power up)
8. SAT HDMI1 (TV input)
9. GOTO SAT - P1

All steps above are nested macros that use variables. All variables have initial state of 0.

If I remove the battery and reboot the remote into an initial state with all variables set to 0; something like the following happens:
Press and hold DIRECTV_DVR LCD button from WATCH panel.
- TV powers on
- AMP powers on
- macro execution stops; no other macros executed and the jump is not taken

If I press and hold the same button again
- TV already on no action taken
- AMP already on no action taken
- SAT turns on
- Delay turns on
- macro execution stops; no other macros executed and the jump is not taken

This same scenario occurs until I've pressed and held the button 4 or so times, each time advancing further into the macro. The macro eventually completes and takes the jump.

Has anyone seen this problem before?

I have other nested macros for help pages and access to settings to tweak, and those seem to still work fine. Both the ones that work and the ones that don't use variables, so that's not the common denominator...

MX-950 SW 1.10.125
FW: 1.39
IR DB: 1.83

the same as aminchew.

Yesterday, I tweaked several of the screens to add favorite channels to the soft buttons and downloaded the new profile to the remote. When I tried to run the macro to switch to my cable box, the macro would hang and I needed to remove the battery
to regain control of the remote

I loaded the original programming that I got with the remote, which worked perfectly until I started to use this latest software, and it too would hang on the macro.

I reset the remote to the default configuration, and loaded the original programming again and again, no joy!

I loaded an older version of the editor software, downloaded from the URC website, on to my laptop and downloaded the original programming to the remote. It was back to its' old self, but without my tweaks.

Bug in this version?

The non-Live Update version used was:
MX-950 Version 1.10.105
F/W: 1.37
IR DB: 1.80

Also, the un-install was not very clean. It reported success, but the install of the non-live update version failed because several files not being removed. I manually deleted the files and tried the install again without the failure.

The Live Update version used was:
MX-950 Version 1.10.130
F/W: 1.39
IR DB: 1.83

It appears to me F/W rev 1.39 has the problem and F/W 1.37 is OK.

I presume my best strategy is to install and old version and download to the remotes? Is there any problems in doing this? I actually didn't system restore last time as I wasn't ready.

for me, the nested macros seem to work, only if you don't have other logic before them. In my experience moving a simple page flip to the bottom of the macro after any variable setting seemed to make that work. Unfortunatly, all your macro definitions are lost if you add/import/change any device. Even simply adding an LCD button....
