    On installations with custom keypads, or programmable remote control buttonwe have a FIX button. The FIX button reruns the macro that was previously run, including the POWER command for the cable box. I picked up this trick a few months back, and it has helped tremendously. Still not a fix, but another way to try to tackle the problem.

    Ok, funny thing...

    The other night my wife and I were watching a movie (and recording another) on my 8300HD PVR when a pop up (!!) appeared. It said "This cable terminal will reset itself in five minutes"...10 seconds later...off it went. We just stared at eachother. I have no idea why this happened. And it hasn't happened since. Very strange indeed. Could this be part of your problem?

    The other part of the problem is that THERE ARE NO DISCRETE ON/OFF CODES FOR THESE DAMN THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hint hint if anyone from Sci-Atl is reading!!! It's a basic firmware update folks!!!
