What model have you got? I got the original TSU-1000 which I've had about
six years now, and it's still going great. Trying hard to find and excuse
to upgrade it. :)
CCF's can be just Graphics or Graphics with codes underneath. If you've got
something working already, back it up so you can restore it if you need to.
Once you've backed it up, download some CCF's and find something that works,
once you've found something you can merge it (or copy and paste it ) into
your own CCF.
The CCF's available for download are normally just to get you going, once
you're addicted to programming this thing, you'll want to design your own
complete CCF from scratch with discrete codes and whizzy graphics. A great
time waster. :)
On CCF's. A lot of the model numbers are US models, the NZ models usually
differ, a little research and you might be able to find the equivalent US
model number. Failing that, try some CCF's of the same manufacturer,
normally most of the code will work, you might just have to learn or remove
a couple of extra buttons. Worst case, yes, do the learning thing and post
your CCF to remotecentral.com and prontoedit.com.
