I am an experienced long time user of Harmony Remotes.. I have been using an 890 PRO for the last four or five years. The rocker Switch for volume control is developing some (apparently) mechanical problems. (I have a Receiver with multiple HDMI inputs, a WD Media Box, Xbox 360, 60" Elite Plasma, and a Dish 722k Sat receiver.)

Everything works fine! No issues what so ever. Did some experimenting and and concluded RF is actually no longer required.

Because of the rocker switch issue I decided to look at the new Harmony Touch and also at the older Harmony 900.

I actually bought the Touch last night at Best Buy and got it home and decided that we were not going to be "happy" with so few "hard" buttons and thus having to use the "soft" buttons on the touch screens for frequently conducted operations.

So, I returned the unused remote this morning.

I spent some time this morning holding the 900 and concluded that it was more like my old 890 PRO than the Touch was.

My question is as follows. I did not find a labeled hard button for "DVR" which would call up the Menu of recorded videos on the Dish DVR. (Actually need to push twice.)

What have any other Dish 722/Harmony 900 users done to map "DVR" to their 900? (I should add that on my 890 I have the two tiny hard button labeled up arrow and down arrow programmed to send "DVR".)

Are the four colored buttons, which I currently have no use for, able to be programmed? I'm thinking I could program the right hand colored button to be "DVR" and my "problem" would be solved and I'd go ahead and buy an 900.

Sorry for posting a more preference oriented then technical question.

Thanks in advance for any help.
