I bought my URC 200 Automator remote about 3 weeks ago and I love it. Before that I had a remote for every single device; so, if I wanted to do anything I needed three remote controls. Needless to say that the URC 200 simplified my life tremendously.

This last Saturday I went picked up a brand new series 2 Tivo with a 40 hour capacity. After I set up the Tivo and what not I tried to set up the URC 200. None of the codes that came with the URC 200 worked so I was forced to map out the remote. It wasn't that bad, I finished mapping the entire remote in about 30 minutes.

Then when I went to test the new setup, every button worked except the Fast Foward button. I tried to make the remote "learn" the code again and after a few tries it said "Good" so I went on a tried the Fast Forward button again only to realize that it still wasn't working. Now, after several attempts to make the remote "learn" the new code it still doesn't work!

Has anyone experience this? If you have, what did you do to solve the problem?

Thanks,
Orly

Yes, alot of people have had problems with FF command and learning remotes, see this thread. The remedy is to get the FF command from another remote. I don't have the URC-200, but if its like the MX600/500, the tivo code is AUX 090 or 117, if you moved the tivo device to another position on the remote, you're going to still get the AUX code from AUX devices original position.

Thanks for your help. Last night when I got home I was able to configure the URC 200 to control Tivo.
