Wait-a-minute Greg....after re-reading your post, I noticed this little sentence tucked away:

"I haven't confirmed this, but I assume that the 2-second push will apply to the POWER and System OFF buttons as well (at least the POWER button), because you will need to control the Power for each device singly when you are in that particular device's 2 pages."

Now THAT would make all the difference to me as far as the usefullness of these two buttons is concerned!!

And I know this is a futile remark....but I would still MUCH rather see some of that precious macro memory devoted to device specific Power On and Power Off macros, instead of a whopping 50 Favorite channel macros.
