I get that. I've used various such products before, such as the NEVO built into some HP Pocket PCs, including buying a Palm long ago, just to use a third party remote control function. What I never could do is go directly to a particular input, if that function wasn't provided in the product's inherent control functions. The macro could say, hit source, hit down, hit down, hit enter, navigating down a list, but there was no way to say, hit source, hit HDMI2. The first macro only works if I am on TV when I start. Certainly direct access to particular inputs would be a device feature, but none of the TV/Monitors I have seem to support that. Might be undocumented and Harmony can take advantage of it, just never considered that. Would be cool if it could.
