I use the menu button as the cable box info button. this
way the client can't easily get into the menu and screw
up the settings.
That would work for me but................
Would the client or a casual house guest be able to relate 'menu' to actually providing 'info'?
I can't tell you how many times I had people not realize that '>' equals play, or '>>' equals ffwd or skip!!
Asigning a function to a button that is labled something else doesn't seem like a very smooth solution to me.
You might as well put 'previous channel' as a 'press and hold' on the 6 key.
I'm sure that the house sitting Grandma would figure that out real quick( I guess you could always mark it as such with a 'sharpie') ;-(
The reason that clients spend the money on a control system is to eliminate all of the confusion.
Granted, you could just sell them a touch screen and wouldn't need a 'sharpie' ;-)
Now if I can just convince the clients that WANT a hard button remote to buy a touch screen instead.
