My URC 6131 isn't sending its remote address anymore

I have two DTiVos in the same room controlled by a URC-6131. I have the TiVos setup as remote address 1 and remote address 2. I just noticed that for some reason the remote is no longer sending address code 2 when I'm controlling the second TiVo, instead it's sending the univiersal address code 0. The result of course is that when I think I'm sending a command to TiVo 2 that command is also processed by TiVo 1.

I'm not sure when this problem surfaced. I'm pretty sure I would have noticed it some time ago if it had never worked. I think it's been broken for a few days now at least though because I know I have noticed some odd behavior.

I based my setup on a two remote configuration someone pointed me to, so I don't know how to make changes to the raw data to correct this problem. Can someone take a look at my data and see if the problem can be identified. I've posted the file here:

I have TiVo boound to device PVR and TiVo 2 bound to device CBL/SAT. And yes I know there are some issues with my configuration where some key moves are only single byes instead of two bytes. I plan to fix this, or perhaps dig into the extender, but all the key moves appear to be working as they are and I not too anxious to go messing with things.

Your CBL/SAT device button is using setup code VCR/DVD 0618. This is the builtin seteup code for TiVo control that uses remote address 0.

Your PVR button is using setup code VCR/DVD 2001, which is the device upgrade that uses remote address 1.

You should change your CBL/SAT button to use setup code VCR/DVD 2002, which is the device upgrade that uses device address 2.

That's odd, I woner when that got changed? Now that you mention it I definitely remember needing to use the 2001/2002 codes back when I set this all up several months ago.... ???

Thanks again for your help.
