This seems like a very helpful reply/post. I thought ppl use this forum to get ideas/help/advice offer support? It seems as though you have made it a point to troll the CC forum and bash anyone that ask a question.

mdrew ; playing with the timing should help but could you explain your layout a little more as to why you want a press and hold to change input and devices rather then 1 page with the different activities??

A little more work but you could add an activity page and power page with you if else statements so there would be no need for a press and hold function.

I am a big fan of 2 presses and your home option. Using a mx5000 I have a main page Watch and listen. clicking on watch brings up SAT, Bray and HTPC. Clicking on TV changes all the inputs/power on and jumps to fav. I use one of the soft buttons on the MX5000 to jump back to watch activites. If I press Bray again sat turns off, turns on Bray, and changes the AVR input.
