1) Do you guys actually use the green power on button on your remotes for anything or do you just have the customer directly choose their activity from the screen buttons? I currently have my mx-890 and mx-780 going directly from the screen but am wondering if I'm not doing it according to a best-use scenario by bypassing the green power button.
2) When you program your remotes for the customer to switch activities (i.e. transitioning from watching blu-ray to watching cable tv) do you turn off the devices that are no longer being used similar to how Harmony remotes do it, or do you just keep everything turned on until the user hits the red power off button and only then turn all devices off?
I had a bad experience with the guy I paid $300 to program my first remote and ended up having to learn how to do it myself but was just wondering about these questions. When I asked the CI about turning devices off that were no longer being used when switching activities he said that was way too much work to program. Wanted to know if that's the general consensus or not.
