URC MX-850 & Push and Hold Macros

[DBSNewbie]

Any MX-850 users here familiar with programming Push and Hold Macros to hard buttons?

I am able to assign a shortcut on any hard button on the remote to a "Push and Hold" Macro that is created from any soft button.

The problem I'm having is that the Push and Hold function only works from a "Device" Page and NOT on the "MAIN" page. It only sends the first part of the function (the tap command) but does not send out the second part of the function (the Push and Hold Macro), even though the LCD Display on the remote flashes, "MACRO" while the button is pressed down accordingly.

Has anyone experienced this, or have any suggestions on how to properly program the remote?

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have a "delay" built into the your macros as the first step. Try using at least .5 seconds.

Yes, I do have the "Delay" as the first step of the Push and Hold Macro.

That's not the problem I am having, though. When I link a "shortcut" of the P & H Macro onto a hard button, it works fine from any Page of any of the devices, exept for the Main Page.

It's strange because a regular Macro linked to a shortcut to any hard button on the Main Page works fine, but not a P & H.
