I am using the DirecTV app and think it's great so far. After reading here about the options to make an i-pad remote with global cache and the various programs available, I can see that's some amount of learning and work for me to start from scratch.

Is it possible to combine existing apps somehow to make your own custom remote for all your gear if they each have their own app? Onkyo receiver, DirTV, Blue Ray and TV? Put together some macros from multiple devices?

I'm not computer literate so I have to ask the possibly dumb question.

Thanks.
