@ Demon, I do not at all to be a guru who could figure out how it will go screwy, I am fairly certain IRBUTTON is ALWAYS = 0 after his for loop. Since there is NO way to cram a number bigger then %11111111,$FF,255 in a byte, it will always do the else setting all 11 bits to zero.

So I would certainly question the OP's statement that it works, I think it prolly does in fact receive the signal, and detect the header. but I think from there it will fail as soon as it is tested for specific button presses.

We shall wait and see
