Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the response, unfortunately when I hit the number buttons
with notepad open....nothing happens in notepad. The light on both the
remote control and the transceiver blink but thats is.

I'm very close to reloading my box. I now have a remote that will be
plugged in while loading the OS. Maybe that will make a difference? I
will hold off until I see your reply.

Thanks
