As I said before, you need to test EVERY button, including the 15 Custom buttons, in 2011 & 2012.

File 2010 : numerical buttons and power works - however the channel up and down doesn't work even on the hidden menu

File 2011:
power works
arrow down -> EPG ( unable to navigate )
left arrow -> switch between the last 2 viewed channels
the fast forward >> key gives me the channel list ( unable to navigate using arrows )
the back forward key << gives me favorites ( unable to navigate )
I found out that the Guide key works as an exit key

File 2012:
the play button works as channel up
the pause button works as channel down
and power works too

So if we could combine the on the 2010 the keys from:

2012:
Play button for Up channel
the Pause button as channel down

2011:
Guide as an exit would be good

Thank you so far!! :)

In addition to the previous notes: from the 2011 file using:
Custom 29 --> installation
Custom 28 --> language Selection
Custom 27 --> Teletext
Custom 21 --> Aspect ratio

Better. You obviously didn't understand what we were trying to achieve, I should have explained it better. 2011 & 2012 were never meant to work. Basically, once we had figured out the signal format there were only 128 possible codes for the buttons. So between the 3 files all 128 codes were tried. Now we know what codes do what function we can finally build the remote.

However, we still have problems and I am not sure I have much confidence in your testing. You have now confirmed twice that the ONLY buttons that worked on C2010 were the power and the numbers, but the codes you found on C2011 for Guide, Exit and Last Channel were identical to the codes in C2010. How do you explain that ?

We also haven't found any codes for the arrow buttons and the OK/Select button. Have you actually put the TV into a mode where you would see the arrow buttons working ? i.e TV Guide page ?

The number 2 button in C2012 should have triggered the number 7, yet you never mentioned it. Why ?

So apart from the arrow buttons, are we missing any other functions ?

Remember we are not just doing this for you we are doing it for the whole community so we need a 100% working remote, not a lash up that just works for you.

So please do as I asked and test EVERY button in all 3 files, making sure that when you are looking for a specific function you have the TV in an appropriate mode.

Hi, While I was waiting for your answers I was testing again the files
On the 2010 the ( Power, Numbers, Guide, Exit , navigation thew the guide using the arrows works )

I haven't mentioned on the previous email for the C2012 button 2 reflecting the channel 7 as I thought it was not important for you.

The missing buttons are :

C2011
left arrow -> switch between the last 2 viewed channels
the fast forward >> key gives me the channel list ( unable to navigate using arrows )
the back forward key << gives me favorites ( unable to navigate )
Custom 29 --> installation
Custom 28 --> language Selection
Custom 27 --> Teletext
Custom 21 --> Aspect ratio

C2012
the play button >> works as channel up
the pause button >> works as channel down

so if you could map the most important of the above keys to the C2010 would be perfect :) Hope this time I gave you a full report :)

Thank you!

Hopefully, I just wish you had done it first time to avoid all this confusion.

We still don't have codes for Menu, Info or Display which are normally on remotes. You didn't answer my question about what functions we are missing ?

The best we have so far is at:
