0 as a pseudo discrete power on button for my HDR Fox T2. Since I also use the automatic power-off after 3 hours, occasionally my programmable remote gets out of sync and powers the box on when it should turn it off. To address that, I've updated the ir package with the ability to map foreign remote control codes, and I've assigned one of them to power toggle. When the Humax is up and running, the ir package will map this foreign code to power toggle but when it is is in standby the code is ignored (by the front panel). It's not perfect but a lot better than before and probably the closest we can get to having discrete power on/off codes.This is available in the beta

0x is the magic bit that makes this a foreign control mapping and 0 is the power toggle code)I then taught the new command to my programmable remote (Logitech Touch) as
