Known Issues:
If you are in the south Texas region and are using Comcast as the TV program provider, the BOCS remote might not work your HD Set-up box and DVR combo unit. Here is the explanation from David:
"Very interesting - it actually looks to me like we are learning the code correctly and reproducing it well. Turns out there is a LOT of chatter on the boards about this box and how every universal remote out there is having trouble."
"Cisco is getting really bad press as this is their first new box since buying SA and they totally messed it up."
"I've got some scope traces (and a lot more information) in to UEI (the chipset maker) and have already gotten a response from them that we are not the first to ask in general (first with this particular chip) and they are researching how to solve the problem - they said they may need to send me a file update - I'm going to have to research what that means and how to implement once they send - but the response is promising."
This is the latest information about this issue. We'll keep working on this issue and post the update at here. At this point, if you are in South Texas and are using Comcast service, please call 281-6641209 before making purchase.
