[*SPAM*] Re: Using Multiple Conditions in Determinators

["Frank Mc Alinden" <fmcalind@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John
Have done what you suggested and i couldnt get the Determinator
to run based on a FirM
Zone and the value of a global...As a last resort i thought i would try and
copy the key value exactly as per the message...ie   keys=434a441144F1 and
it worked ;-))....Looks like its case sensitive what i entered was
434A1144F1(comparing the global value) and it wouldnt run........
So i now can open  Homevision Main Menu when  chan up from my dvd remote is
received from zone4  and close the Homevision Menu when chan down is
received from zone 8 ...;-))
Thanks John
Frank
