On a related note...
I will always find out what the most common activity is that the user will choose in cases where the whole system is powered off. When creating the macro for powering the system off I'll then first send the codes setting the display, receiver and any other switch gear to the proper source selects for that activity followed by powering everything off that way the system 9 times out of 10 is already in the proper state short of powering things on when the user goes to start things up. Certainly can't hurt regardless of how reliable the remote control solution may be and if anything else can serve to decrease that initial start-up time in cases for instance where the display may need to be on for so many seconds before it will accept a command for changing to the correct input.
