As soon as I get my remote, I'll pop it open, look at the LEDs, and recommend replacements.

Quick question guys.. if people list these remotes for sale, what sort of model number stuff do they give? I see a pretty long list of what look like atlas remotes. I'm looking for black, backlit.

e.g. ER1 UR3-EXP

Thanks,
jeff

I found the remotes by doing a search for "5-device".

But they technically known as ATLAS OCAP 1056's.

Looks like he was delisted/deleted again.

Razors Polished Edge must have done something bad!
Anyone else get their remotes?
Label-1056BC1-BLX-XXX-0001-R
C071505

All looks good now. I went back and organized myself, and it looks like it IS working.
Are there really only 2 phantom keys vavilable on this remote?
Off to Houston....

Hmm... previously, the BC was only seen on the Silver ones, and is so indicated on the UEIC website. I suppose that perhaps the BC refers to backlighting.

Actually, yes. The 1055 3033 has FOUR phantoms, but two of those buttons are real (Menu and D) in the 1056, leaving only TWO phantoms.

It looks like unclemiltie's extender for the 1056 leaves only ONE phantom.

(But to be frank, with the number of real buttons and shifted variants (and x-shifted ones in the extended remote, ultimately) there's plenty of locations to store those bizarre Special Functions and Macros, I would imagine.)

Grrrr! I bid last night, and this a.m. all of his listings are cancelled. What gives!

A question.
I have created macros to execute a key on a device I am not presently on so they work universally across all devices. I can also do this by a lot of learning or keymoves.
Problem with the macros is that they leave the remote in the device where the native key is located. Any trick to end the macro back where I started.
Problem with learning/key moves is memory, and a lot of entries/bookkeeping.
What is/ is there an efficient way to accomplish this?

Also, it really bugs me that the only way I can control a REplay is by using Panasonic protocol. Any other one trashes the remote....

With out an extender there isn't a good solution. You either have to use Keymoves/Learns or macros leave you in that device. With the extender you can do a temporary device selection in a macro to temporarily switch to what ever and after the macro is over it switches back to the previous device.
