Steve,
I don't know anything about your particular ECU, but I have found a way to
enter three digits with my particular ECU, even though it was not originally
designed to do so. To do so, I simply activate the ECU, give the command for
television, give the command for channel, and then give two quick numbers,
followed up by the command Enter. The enter command on my ECU has been
programmed for the number 5. I then scroll forward or backward to find the
appropriate channel. It is a pain in the butt, although it is considerably
cheaper than buying an entirely new ECU. Perhaps your system might have some
similar workaround.

Mike...
Will your SiCare allow you to operate your cable TV box and/or TV,
specifically, can you access 3 digit channels directly?
I still have and use the SiCare Lite 1 and it continues to work well, but
while it will allow me to control my TV, it doesn't work with my specific cable
box, and it will only allow me to go to a channel directly if it is 2 digits or
less. They don't make this model any more. It cost $800 several years ago. I
consider it a bargain for the amount of time and utility I have gotten from it.
I have taken it with me to the hospital on several occasions and was able to
program it to work with the hospital TVs. Unfortunately, if your device isn't
among the pre-programmed options for the respective devices, i.e. TV, VCR, CD
player, and tuner, you are out of luck. I even looked into getting my device
programmed to work with other specific remote controls I use frequently, and
Tash wanted $200 per remote and I would have had to send them my SiCare and the
remote(s), since my unit is not programmable beyond what is already included.
I am seriously considering the SiCare Lite 2, especially if the return policy
allows me to send it back if it is not significantly better than my current
SiCare device.
I am wondering what additional features your SiCare unit has that the SiCare
Lite 2 does not have.

Here is a link to it: http://www.tashinc.com/catalog/env_sicare.html
Its certainly not cheap, but its a great product! The Sicare operates my
front door, camera, and intercom. In my bedroom it operates my TV, stereo, CD
player (books on CD), tape player (books on tape), and DVD player. It
operates, via X-10s, my heater, heating blanket, fans, attendant beeper, and
alternating air cushion. Lastly it gives me access to a telephone. All of the
above is done through voice control. Also, my insurance company (Travelers)
paid for it all.

What is the price? Do you know any web sites that tell about this? What
kinds of things does this device do for you? How long have you had the units?
Longevity of unit?
Thank you,
Dana
