I have also just purchased a Samsung LE40A557 and cannote set my Sky remote to control the TV is suggested 0840 as well but this code does not work for a standard Sky+ Box, I am going to try 0646 or 088 which I have found recommended on another website, if either of these work than I will let you know.

Hi Dekay, good to see you.

I tried holding it but the moment it is pressed it just skips to the next source and then stays on that one.

The only saving grace here really is that it only detects and goes through sources which are being used at the time – so it ignores component and VGA. Unfortunately it does not ignore all that are unused so it still wants to cycle through DTV, EXT1, EXT2. EXT are the scarts, maybe there is a way to disable them?

I do like that it will go to HDMI 2 or 3 automatically depending which is switched on when going from HDMI 1 – for example switching from sky to 360 or the ps3, it will auto detect the console so I don’t have to press source twice to get to HDMI 3. But I don’t understand why it will not do the same in reverse when going back to sky. It doesn’t make sense – if it can do it one way, why not the other?

To save cycling through the input sources, try holding the source button instead of pressing it. It might give you a select menu.
