I've programmed a Roku Ultra with [Roku 2]. When I press the right/left button it moves 2 places and skip on of the entries. To fix it I've turned off the Repeat while button pressed in the Macro/IR setting. This works but it's annoying to keep pressing the button to move several spots.

Is there a way to allow the left right buttons to repeat when pressed and hold and also skip from one item to the next one at a time with a single press? Thanks.

Need to change the repeats to 1 for each of the commands.

Musictoo I hope I didn't misunderstand you post.  Just to clarify.
If I set in the Data box in the IR Setting dialog Repeat:1 and uncheck Repeat while button is pressed I can scroll on at a time but have to hit the button each time.

If I set in the Data box in the IR Settings dialog Minimum Repeat When Pressed:1 and check Repeat while button is pressed  it scrolls 2 items with each key press

I was hoping to be able to scroll one at a time with each keypress and multiple moves if I hold the button down.

@Sxcd1:  Did you ever get anywhere with this?  I have the exact same problem with a Roku Ultra.

I tried turning down the output on the IR emitter from the MSC-400 but it makes no difference (eventually it simply stops responding at all once the ir strength becomes low enough.

The repeat setting has to be between 1 and 10 so 0 is not an option.

Thanks

Yes, it works if you uncheck Repeat While Button Is Pressed but this is very inconvenient.  This means that to scroll one has to constantly lift up the button.  Also, I noticed that I cant do multiple presses too fast otherwise it will ignore them.  I need to wait a half a second between presses.

I can mitigate this by assigning the Ch+/- buttons for repeatable presses.  But it would be nice to find a proper solution.
