i have the One-for-All 8090 and was at first frustrated by the lack of complete support for some of my equipment, and the need to call/wait for new codes to correct this.

however, i figured out how to FIND the codes myself, using the remote's MAGIC function.

basically, once you know the device code for the equipment for which you want to add functionality,
the procedure is as follows (have paper/pencil handy!):

hit the input button to make sure you are controlling the desired device.
hit MAGIC/0/0/0 - see what happens - write it down
hit MAGIC/0/0/1 - see what happens - write it down
hit MAGIC/0/0/2 - see what happens - write it down
hit MAGIC/0/0/3 - see what happens - write it down

continue like this up to 255. 257 repeats what 001 did.

yes, this is tedious, but it will allow you to map out EVERYTHING that your device is capable of receiving. i even found some things i could do with my TV that the TV's own remote didn't do!

once you know the MAGIC sequence for any function, use the keymover function to store it into whatever key you want. follow the keymover instructions,
but when prompted for 'from', hit MAGIC/x/y/z instead of an existing button, then when prompted for 'to', hit the button you want to store that magic sequence into...

hope some of you may find this useful...
