I mentioned that my URC-6131 was failing...the main annoyance was the PVR Menu button. It was getting harder and harder to get into the Replay Menu on my ReplayTVs.

I searched around online to try to find a new URC-6131 (forgetting at first that it needs to be modded to do JP1 reprogramming). But, no luck. I decided I would take a chance try the 6131n. Found it in numerous places.

But, as I was looking at whether to buy or bid....I saw an auction listing that mentioned that the 6131n for sale had been modded for JP1 programming. Oh ya....the 6131 that I had was modded for JP1...that means I should be bidding on this one.

I marked it for future bid....

Follow up:

then late one evening, I heard a strange sound. I went to the computer and it was my Firefox browser warning me that the auction for the 6131n was about to end. I had better bid on it, if I want it.

I had to sign into the site first....and I just wanted to do that. So I typed my user name and password...and when Roboform asked to be unlocked so that it could find out if it needed to save the info.... Well, I just wanted onto eBay....and yes it is already saved in RoboForm, but irrelevant to what I'm trying to do right now. So, I hit cancel (as I've often done before). But, this time doing so was preventing me from signing into eBay.

After a few attempts, I unlocked my roboform and was able to sign in. And with only seconds to spare...I got off a bid and won it.
