JP1 Remotes

The American ATSC digital broadcast channels use a decimal point. For example, channel 6 is the analog NTSC signal while 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 etc are the ATSC digital channels assigned to a station currently broadcasting on NTSC 6.

The factory remotes that come with ATSC televisions have a decimal point button for directly tuning to digital channels.

Is there a JP1 remote with a decimal point button?

No, but there's nothing stopping you from treaing another button as the "decimal point" button.

But first one must know the code(s) used for the decimal point button by various televisions with ATSC tuners, if you're going to reassign a button on a remote that doesn't already have that button.

If I can find my learning remote, I'll do a profile for the Magnavox remote I have, which is used with over a dozen flat panel TVs with ATSC tuners. I'd already tried all the Magnavox profiles in the files section and none had a decimal point assignment in them

If UEI isn't yet making a remote with a decimal point button for ATSC TV (or other digital broadcast standards that use it), they're wayyyy behind the curve. Analog NTSC will come to a screeching halt in 2009.

UEI uses the dash (-) instead of the decimal point on remotes like URC-6820/8820/10820.

Also on the original 6131, the advance key ->] has a dash next to it.

I just learned the decimal point from my 1 yr old 51" Magnavox TV:

RC5 DEV 3 OBC 120 HEX 1C or 1D or 1E
EFC 178 or 170 or 194

EFC 170 works for me.

Good Luck, Jack
