Mark, I did a quick Google search on your Harmony remote and VIP1216 which is the 160GB version of your PVR and the most common model. I saw a number of people on the Logitech forums saying that the H659 was not compatible with the 1216. The VIP1200, VIP1216, VIP1225 and VIP1232 are all compatible as far as remotes go.

It seems the only solution is to get a newer Harmony remote (assuming you don't want to use the Moto remote).

As far as I know the Motorola box does not have discrete ON/OFF codes. You can use POWER as "off" and OK as "on". If the STB is already "on" and gets an OK, it will be ignored. If it is "off", it will turn on. ("OK" is the button in the middle of the directional arrows on the standard Moto remote, Bell may have labelled this as "Select".)

By the way did you test a PVR with the Kill-a-Watt or a standalone STB?

@Mark Rejhon

If you have your old Harmony H659, you might be interested in trying AT&T as the manufacturer. That worked for this MTS user.

Let us know if it works.

@Spacegras, the VIP1216e is the European version and I believe it works differently. Try using VIP1216 or AT&T.
