USB-UIRT Dish 222K Issue

I have a USB-UIRT setup to change my channels on my Dish 222K receiver which is hooked up to Sage through a HDPVR. It seems to work except for single and double digit channels. I set up Sage for 3 digit although my Dish channels are single, double, triple and quadriple.

If I punch station codes directly into one of my extenders it will change the channel correctly if it is a 3 digit channel. It won't accept 4 digits, but worse when you punch in two or one number, it won't change the station (Video), but will change the title bar in Sage to the 2 digit channel with the 3 digit channel video still on.

My Fox station is channel 12 and it didn't change the channel to 12 for Idol finals tonight. If I hadn't checked at the start I can tell you there would not be anyone to write my questions down after the wife got a hold of me...

The 222K possibly comes with a newer remote called a 20.0 IR Remote. I downloded a .ir file from here that i think was for a 211K which has a 1.5 IR Universal remote control. Someone said most Dish codes were similar.

Any tips on how to get this working? I would surely appreciate it.

I am getting some looks at my question, but no comments. Is what I am experiencing an anomaly then?

Thanks

I don't use a USB-UIRT so I don't know exactly where the setting would be, but you need to tell it to transmit leading 0's so that it always blasts as a 3 or 4 digit channel change.

Thanks!

I was thinking the same thing, but have not found a place to enter this in either Sage, Properties,???
I cannot even find the place that I entered the option for 3 digits. I would like to change it to 4 digits and tell it to add leading zeros on single, double and triple digit channels.
Do you know where I can enter leading zeros?
Thanks
