- I actually came across as instance where myRemote couldn't learn
- my older Sharp VHS remote, but ir95 picked it up without a hitch.
- That says to me that the learning algorithm is more robust.
-
- Other stuff ir95 has successfully learned (not mentioned above):
-
- Pioneer CD rack system
- Sony 8mm VCR
- Sharp VHS VCR
-
- Has anyone tried to have ir95 learn cable company converter box
- remotes? I seem to remember that some defy most programmable
- URC's because of dual frequencies, or some such...
-
- In any event, ir95 has permanently replaced myRemote on my HP95!
- My disk and postcard are in the mail...
