Jack,
Your-the-Man!!!
I think I see what your answer (to my #3 Questino) is doing. Let me know if this is how/why it works... when you send the TV a channel number that forces the TV to switch to the Antenna input... once it is there, you know exactly how many times to send the Input Select signal to cycle through to the desired video input. That's a great idea. Now if I need to go to Video input 1 it's just a single (TV/Video) key press (in the macro), Color Stream would then be 4X (TV/Video) key presses.
I can't wait to try it out and start programming my macros... I was almost ready to switch my DVD output from component (Color Stream) to S-VHS just to avoid this problem.
You saved me.
Thanks
Ken
