Hey guys, just want to say I love the mx 3000 and have the mrf250 on the way today so i'll be busy later!
The question is, I have downloaded various network icons for my cable company, how do i assign the channel number to the specific network icon? I thought I would be able to drag and drop the corresponding channel number it only takes one of the numbers not say '103'
Many thanks
John

I figured it out!!

Where did you get the icons? Do happen to have them as a set we could all use? That would be awesome!!!!

Check out the Files section, scorpius. There are some here and many under the color Pronto section.

When I get so deep into the programming (and drinking) I forget that there are BMPs/GIFs over there not in Pronto files... thanks!

So how did you do it?

Setting up Network Icons that automatically tune to that channel is fairly easy...
(MX-3000 Instructions)

I RECOMMEND DOING IT THIS WAY versus inserting actual IR CODES into the BUTTON Macro because it allows you to change the IR CODES at one device/page/location. If you were to change your SAT/CABLE receiver, you'd have to manually change EVERY BUTTON ICON IR Code and that would be painful if you have many.


Getting the NETWORK ICON on a page
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(There are a few ways to do this, so choose
the way you like, here's one way)
1) Select the PAGE you want to use, or create a new one.
2) Insert a BUTTON item on to that page.
3) In the Image Panel (Right Side), IMPORT the BMP/GIF Icon.
4) Now create a IR Macro for that button.


IR MACRO
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Example:
To tune to the "NFL Network (DirectTV) Channel 212"
Do an ALIAS command/macro for the button (In Macro Panel)

Make sure you have your cable box or satellite receiver configured as a working device, with all working DIGITS (0-9, ENTER) IR Codes programmed and ready.

SAMPLE MACRO:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1] SOUND: BEEP.WAV, TEXT: CH 212
2] ALIAS: (SAT_Digit_2)/(SAT_Numbers_Page)
3] DELAY .25 sec
4] ALIAS: (SAT_Digit_1)/(SAT_Numbers_Page)
5] DELAY .25 sec
6] ALIAS: (SAT_Digit_2)/(SAT_Numbers_Page)
7] DELAY .25 sec
8] ALIAS: (SAT_Digit_ENTER)/(SAT_Numbers_Page)

(I placed .25 second pauses because I have a Samsung HDTV Satellite receiver and it runs a little slow and can miss digits.).


Hope this helps :-)
