Generally, yes.

Power On/Off was an issue B.H. (Before Harmony) too. What I had settled on a few years ago was to leave the receiver on all the time, just muting when not in use, and to only shut it off when we went to sleep. Not so good for my "good to the Earth" cred, I know...

At this point I've configured the Harmony to leave the power on when leaving an activity for my Receiver and BD/DVD player. The TiVo is, of course, always on too.

So, I think given that, I can handle the few seconds pause (now that I have reduced the IR delays) if the second user needs to start an activity, and let that second remote "get into the groove" so to speak.

When we are done for the evening, or an extended period of time, we can hit the Harmony Off button. That seems fine.

Thanks,

John
