Hi Copernicus, great job indeed, working without a hitch.
Would you consider adding "Technosat" satellite receivers IR codes.

Ah, I have not actually done this myself yet, so I don't know just how much effort it takes. But I do know that the LIRC folks can use their server to read IR and store unknown IR pulses. That is, in fact, how the enormous database of LIRC config files has been constructed. And I'm sure there are other similar tools out there as well.

As for getting the codes into Pierogi, I haven't yet spent the time to create a config file mechanism for the program. I was originally going to use the LIRC file format, but I don't think it would work for my purposes any more... I'll need some time to come up with something.

But the Pierogi source code is available, if you'd like to try a hand at it yourself.

And I'm certainly willing to work on importing any new codes you send me...

Hmm, I'm not finding any config files for the Technosat. (I can find posts from people asking about Technosat codes, and not getting any responses, so that's not a good sign.) This one will take some effort...

Ah, that would be because I'm using this list to filter keysets by device. Since there are no United devices on that list yet, no keysets will show up.

If you just select United, and leave the device filter at "any", the two United keysets will show up.

I'm going to have to create a separate "compatible devices" list in the GUI, rather than use this "filter by device" mechanism.

mmm nothing, tried without filter, but the 2 keyset does not work, perhaps because it is a United TV and not a DVD or DVBT?

For the GDIs, I've just added several Motorola keysets (which also go under the brand name General Instruments; I should probably note that somewhere); with luck, one of the STB keysets (1, 1a, or 1b) will work for you...

Tried the Motorola STB and it Work with the GDI STB also.

Yeah, that's the big problem -- I was only able to find keysets for a DVD and for a set-top box, not for a TV. There just aren't a lot of United config files to be found...
