I have a scientific Atlanta explorer 4200hd cable box. I am trying to find discrete on/off codes. Any help would be great!!!

Most cable boxes do not support discretes, most people just leave them turned on all the time.

That makes perfect sense.

I've been having a hard time setting my URC-9910 up to turn on and turn off my Scientific Atlanta 2000 cable box with all-on/all-off macros. Sometimes it reacts, sometimes not. I might just leave it on all the time, then.

What I often do is leave the cable box power command out, but make certain it's left in CBL mode when the macro ends. That way, I just hit POWER if I need to.
