Here a posted set of Discrete On/Off codes from a German board, did not yet test them:
Discrete On:

As described, the VU+ uses a toggle bit in its remote/receiver:
Parity bit: Some remote controls change their codes each time the signal is sent. For instance, if you press the number "5" the code would end in a "0". The second time you press it the code ends in "1". The problem with this is that a learning remote control can learn only one of those signals – not both. Thus, such devices typically will not respond to a universal remote when you send the same code twice in a row (for instance the channel "55"). For more help on this problem click here. Also known as a toggle bit. See also: learning. (from remotecentral.com)
Can you switch off the toggle bit as part of the VU+ driver configuration? Any idea?
(In Windows MCE, which uses toggle bits as well, you can switch it off with a registry key.)

I'll give these codes a go if they work I would be very happy I'll let you know how I get on
I once had remote that wouldn't learn codes until I replaced the batteries - I think they need more power to learn than to emit...
The discrete codes do not really work - they seem to be the power on/off code, one with toggle bit on, the other toggle bit off.
So they work as long as you press no other button. After pressing one, the codes are inversed, so on = off and vice versa.
Can I do anything with these codes to get the vu+ to work with my slingbox?

I've just come up with a solution to this... Create a copy of your 'Vu+ Duo' device in the Pronto. Learn each button in both 'devices' one after another, jumping from one to the other afterward.
eg. 'Learn' UP_BUTTON on "VU a", then go to your "VU b" and learn it on there (making sure not to press anything else in between).
Then in 'VU a', add "Jump to VU b" and vice versa.
The screen change isn't even visible. Yes it's a bit of a pain to set up, but works well once done.

Has anyone the discreet power ir codes for the uno, as i wouldn't mind trying them on the duo. if someone could post them up in hex format i could try it out. Thnx
UNO works on R/C code 2, DUO on mode 1, so this is not going to work.
But if you have a Harmony R/C I can help you.

After many configurations now I'm asking for an help.
I've an Harmony Touch RC and I've problem in power on and stand by.
I've programmed an activity that power on, at the same time, all needed devices (including VU+DUO) and another that stand by all at once at the end of the use. Without discret power on and standby its a nightmare: if DUO power on than it doesnt standby when I press OFF; changed config and it doesnt power on, after powered on manualy than it stand by correctly with the OFF activity!!!
If I assign a button for power toggle it works well.
Rob, how do you solve this issue?
Thx in advance.
I have an Harmony One - I will be looking for answer on discrete Deep Standby and Standby, and On commands too. As part of Activities, the Power Toggle works fine, with long short presses. Yet the same command within the Orange Devices section, doesn't work!
I originally set up by selecting Sat Rec > VU+ Duo - but sometimes Harmony software has the same device in many places. Anyone got a better solution or work around?
I'm sorry, but the problem isn't clear to me: an activity that 'stand by all at once at the end of the use'?
I take it you have one activity that includes the DUO (something like watching TV), and you want to be sure the DUO powers 'on' at the start of that activity and goes to standby when stopping that activity; correct?
