Actisys 200L

I need to be able to send a IR signal before the first number is sent. The reason i need to do this is that if the remote control has been used before it goes to change cahnnel my NTL (england) box drops the first number. I have been reading around alot of forums and it seems another remote (even if NTL doesnt recognise it) causes the wrong initial bit to be set #(or something like that ) thus meaning the fist number sent by the actisys to the NTL box is not recognised and therefore dropped.

The solution that has been found is that if a NTL signal, such as right arrow) is sent first then the bits are reset correctly, and therefore the first number is recognised correctly, and the system works fine.

Therefore i need away to append my NTL right arrow signal to the start of any channel change signal by Sage. Is this possible? If not, i guess i am going down the girder route...but i would prefer not to use to Girder unless i have to.

Any ideas anyone,

Thanks

Matt

Append to the end, there's a way to do it
Append to the start, only if its zeros.
Otherwise, you'll have to use Girder.
