Did you actually try any of these or did you just dismiss them because the model numbers didn't match?

If it helps, some of the Foxtel Digital boxes are operated by the BSkyB code which is built into European/Australian remotes - but sadly I don't think built into yours. (Though you could try anyway - UEI sometimes load some upgrades into ROM)
From Rob's excellent devices.dev spreadsheet, the details are:
SAT/0847
PID Hex: 0020
PID Dec: 32
Protocol: RC6-M-20n (ver 1)
Dev 1: 0 Dev 2:0
Fixed Data:E0 00
I can't guarantee this will work with your model, but worth a try.
I'm rushing out of the door at the moment, but I do have remotes with this code built in, and I could learn EFCs to another remote to build an upgrade for you to test if you can't find an upgrade anywhere else.

Jim,
Thanks for your help - I am actually in Sydney, so your upgrade should work for me, however I have never used RM before (I always use KM/IR pair). Looks like a good reason to learn RM...
Rob,
(long time, no post... :)
You are right - I thought I'd try to get the exact match from here first, and then start trying those as a last resort if everything else fails.
Thanks again guys - this should be a good start. |

Trying the other upgrades when you don't find an exact match on model number should be a "first" resort, not a "last" resort.

There are LOTS of good reasons to learn RM 
I should point out that I can't guarantee the upgrade I built will work for you - it's based on my memory that that code worked on a Foxtel digital box we only had for a week or two before we moved (in Austar area now).
This was a satellite box rather than cable - so may be different...
Also since I don't have a box to test it on, I built it "blind" by learning codes from one remote to another.
The function names are from an old version of the URC-7562 Australian manual - you'll have to see what they do - if indeed it works at all...
I don't have time to make a KM upgrade right now - just checking messages before work, but here's a quick cut/paste of the button codes if it helps:
PID Hex: 0020
Protocol: RC6-M-20n (ver 1)
