Re: Marmitek 8/1 remote question

["Rob West" <robwest@xxxxxxx>]

IIRC, Sky Digital remotes use IRDA instead of standard domestic IR, which
is
why they probably aren't in the library of codes that come with the
8-in-1.
This might also account for why it runs out of space so quickly when
trying
to "learn" the codes.
