I have yet to learn how to program Pronto to make TV channel changes for numbers above 9. I know that it involves making a macro. But here's the problem: Say I want to program channel 25. The keypad has numbers 1 through 9 and zero. So I hit the 2 and then the 5. However, the macro does not see it as the 25, but as 2 on one line and 5 on the next. It would be simple if I had an "enter" key on the keypad to hold one digit until I input the next, but I don't. Of course, I can cycle through all the channels; but that makes it a long way from 2 to 102 and back.

Try a macro containing '0','2','5' - should work fine. Your TV is probably expecting 3 digits. Or use the enter key afterwards, if your TV's remote has one.

As to the macro having seperate entries for 2 & 5, not one for 25 - well, that's how remote controls (and TVs) work - they see individual button presses, not a channel number. It's the TV that assembles the digits into a channel number, not the remote (neither Pronto nor your original remote).

To "AHP"
As I said, I do not have an "enter" key. Also, the tuner sees the 2 and the 5, not as 25, but as a single digit--5,the last one entered. I'll give it the 0,2,5 combo as you suggested and see if that will work.

Don, my cable-box works the same way.
Ch 25 would be entered as 2 then 5, and
on input of 5, the command is executed.

You must have the 10 key numerical pad
duplicated for your TV tuner on Pronto.
I would assume you can select 25 on Pronto
by selecting 2 then 5 on Pronto screen, yeah?

Well writing a macro for 25 simply repeats
exact button sequence you would normally
use: step 1; 2 key, step 2; 5 key, maybe w/
some delays in between.

Don - your problem may be too LITTLE delay between button presses. Try putting a .5 second delay between the "2" and the "5". The pronto really does rip IR signals out at full speed, you may be confusing the poor TV's slow CPU. :-)

When you have pronto edit software , this will be very easy . you can type the codes one after another and adres them to any key you want.
you do no need a macro.

I agree with Daniel that the problem may be too LITTLE delay between button presses.

I encountered something similar last night on my XBR. The macros were working fine for the handful of channels I programmed (all were double digit), but I was having trouble with channel 55. No matter how many times I did it, it kept taking me to channel 5. I finally decided to add a brief delay between the 5s, and then it worked fine.

I'm really amazed at how quickly the macros run. You really do need those delays occasionally because it sends the signals faster than your fingers can.

Whoever it is that keeps posting as 'helpful person', please refrain from doing so. It simply confuses others, which is far from helpful.

Thanks for the suggestions from everyone. I added a leading zero (to make a three digit number) and added delays between numerals. For the first time (I've had my Pronto since late November) I'm able to actually have a selection of TV channels in a macro. Some channels seem to need longer delays. It never occurred to me that Pronto sends out IR so fast that my TV tuner couldn't digest the command.
