You have to go to each of your power on and off buttons (and sometimes even the various inputs) IR codes itself, double click the IR that shows up in the macro window and then uncheck the "Repeat While Button Is Pressed" box and this will increase by 3 times the number of repeats that each command sends. You can also increase the repeat to what ever you want. But I have found that just unchecking that box will make your macros work. But you have to do it for each button in your macro that is a power on or power off or input switch. Hope that helps!
