Cox URC8820 Remote and Apple TV
I have successfully added my Apple TV to my Cox Remote using the Aux button. It appears that all functions work with the exception of Power. Pressing AUX and then Power does NOT turn on the Apple TV.
If I use the Apple remote to turn the Apple TV on I can then control all functions from my Cox Remote.
Any suggestions as to how I might be able to get the power to my Apple TV to turn on from my Cox remote?

Is the Aux light blinking when you press power? If not, it could be fixed by a remapping sequence. If the light is lighting up, and not turning off the device, then thats probably a compatibility issue with the code your using. Try the code above and below it?

Thank you for your response. There is only one code listed for Apple. I managed to find the answer and have posted it above.

I continued to work on this issue this morning. The Apple TV does not turn on when selecting AUX and then POWER. What does turn the Apple TV on is to press AUX and then MENU. All other functions work very nicely with the Apple TV.
Please note that code 1115 was used. It is the only Apple code listed.

Interesting. Now that I look, I don't think this is a mistake, but due to the Apple TV's design. It doesn't have a power button, so there is no button coded for power. Page 23 of manual shows procedure to turn off Apple TV as "Press and hold menu for 6 seconds" so that procedure has to be copied on Cox remote. Also, note the remote pairing procedure on page 24. That might also cause conflict, FYI if anyone else runs across this thread with the issue.
