While you could use several Goto actions all pointing to the same command, and teach each of the Goto's a different version of the same button press, this will not help with the Question action. The Question action aborts if it does not receive the same event that triggered it within 5 seconds. Since your remote is not capable of sending the same IR code 2 times in a row, the action will timeout and abort.

Do yourself a favor and buy an inexpensive universal remote. You should be able to find one that has decent ergonomics and that will allow you to assign a code that allows it to mimic just about any piece of AV electronics. Around here (USA) remotes can be found as inexpensively as $8.00.

Smintman,
What remote are you using? Some remotes have built-in protection from allowing you to buy a cheap all in one remote as a replacement by alternating IR signals. Sorta like a crappy way to rip off the consumer if you ask me, you have to buy their remote to work their product. This is hard to workaround.

I've tried to use question function, but it did not work. My remote do not send the same code when i press the same key. There are 2 or 3 different codes. Is there any solution? Thanks. Jaro

I'm using remote from tv (Goldstar), every one key has from 3 to 6 codes. This remote is for me best, good shape, different buttons. Another one i have is from aiwa (cd, tuner, tape), this remote gives always same codes, but it is too complicated, 60 almost same buttons and do not sits in hand. My question is, can be there any option to learn girder to make one action with more alternate codes ? I know that it is foolish, it can be used only in case of question function. ;)
