The Harmony remotes often ask for afew button pushes during set up to help pick the best set of IR-commands? This is especially useful for controling units like TiVos which have subtle difference for Tivo (1) vs TiVo (2), etc. Dish PVRs have this multi-unit control feature now too.

Stephen – I think the item in question is D17, not the obvious LED to the left of it in the close up photo.

If you tell me what you need a better photo of, I'll take it. But please be specific, because I have no idea what I'm looking at or what a PCB is.

Arent phototransistors usually used to receive IR signals? Is it possible this is an IR transmitter for some odd reason? Looks like an (IR) LED to me, but the silkscreen on the PCB is blurry.
