JP1 Remotes

I made the following changes from the 2015 upgrade file:

Relabeled all functions exactly as they are on the original HW-180STB remote.
Added a few HW-180STB functions that were missing from the 2015 upgrade, including Fav and HDMI.
Added 5 new functions for the HW-220STB remote. (Only 4 new codes; one code performs a different function on the 220 than it did on the 180. Everything else is identical.)

Mediasonic has discontinued both of these STBs, but the replacement for the HW-180STB (called the HW-130STB) uses the same remote. So, this upgrade should work for the HW-130STB too.

Both the 2015 upgrade and this updated one are for the HW-180STB with DVR capability. Mediasonic briefly sold an HW-180STB without a DVR function; it used a different remote which I do not own.

Looks like I made one small labeling mistake in this file. The "TV List" button is labeled "Guide" instead of "TV List." (The "EPG" button is labeled correctly; it's the one that pulls up the guide.)

I fixed the labeling mistake above and uploaded the upgrade file again.

I discovered a function which is not on either the HW-180 or HW-220 remote, but the STBs respond to. It's probably useless for 99% of folks using these boxes, but I added it for completeness: TV/Radio.

These STB do not receive analog or HD radio. But rarely, a TV broadcaster will put up a channel with just an audio stream; no video. If these boxes find such a channel during their scan, they classify it as a "Radio" channel and put it in a separate channel list from "TV" channels.

If this happens, I only know two ways to access the "radio" channel list:

Use the button for the "TV List" function, followed by the left or right arrow.
Use this new "TV/Radio" function.
