Alan,
Great stuff. I managed to do it, and it works great with both codes. May I bother you for some little changes. The "Guide" button is not configured for guide. it changes from TV to Radio. I don't need that button anywhere as I don't plan to listen to radio from my slingbox, lol. would it be possible to configure the "FAV" button on the "Black" button next to the "Blue" button on the remote? that would be great. if not, please add it to the "Enter" button. if the "FAV" button can be on "Black", then I would like to have the button I called "Audio" on "enter", or just add it to the "Play" button, that would be fine as well.
thanks again,
Cheers,
KG

Unfortunately your short, pithy replies are absolutely useless when it comes to helping you. Unless you tell us in GREAT detail EXACTLY what you are doing, step-by-step, and what EXACTLY what is not working as it should we haven't a hope in hell of assisting.

Wow, I thought my last reply was too long. What I meant to say was that the remote you coded was great! However, the Guide button is not working properly, and I would like two buttons that are not in the remote to be added. Here is what I would like:
1- the guide button needs to be fixed. I made sure, and the remote I put on your account,@TTONET3, has the code learned from the IR of my original remote.
2- The FAV button is really important on this box because if someone presses it on the original remote and changes from the main set of channels, I can press guide all I want on the virtual remote, and all I will get is the guide to that set of Favorite channels. With that, I would like to add the FAV button to the black button on the virtual remote. What i mean with black button is the button next to the blue, in the middle of the virtual remote. If the black button does not work, please add the FAV button to the Enter button on the bottom right of of the virtual remote.
3- I would like the button audio added to the virtual remote. If the enter button is no busy with FAV the that would be the best place for it. If FAV is already on enter, then just add it to any other button (play, pause stop).
I hope this better explains my problem, and I know this seems like a mess, but I have named the buttons on your harmony accounts just as I typed here. Please do not hesitate if you have any other question.
Thanks in advance,
KG

Sorry. my fault. I hadn't realised a new page had started so I was commenting on your previous post. As you say, your recent post was fine

I'll get onto it.

OK, I have done everything. The reason for the Guide confusion is that you had one code on the Guide button and one also called TV Guide. I wasn't sure which to use so I guessed. Wrongly

So I have swapped the Guide code, renamed the other one TV/Radio and allocated that to a Custom Button.
I've also put Fav onto the Enter button. But when I eventually issue this for other users, is the Enter function you learned important ? Should I switch back the Enter button for other users ?

Alan,
this is working fantastic now!!!! it is exactly what I had in mind. thanks a lot!!!
The Enter function I previously had, was already added by me. There where two buttons on the original remote that I wanted to add to the Harmony, but they had no equivalent (Audio and Subs). So I had added Audio on the Star of the plus/clear of the harmony and subs to the enter button, since they were about all I had left to add. The function that was on enter is just to add subtitles so nothing major, I would guess it would go from person to person. I find changing the audio more important, since this slingbox is in Brazil, they dub a lot of things that I prefer to see on the original audio.
Thanks again for the support.
Amazing help,
KG

Good, glad we got it sorted. Is @tttone3 the official name or does it have a different Manufactuer/Model number other users might use ?

@TTONET3 is the only name that showes on the box. It has no other tags or anything.
