If all your devices support discrete power and input commands, then you can set both remote the same way including power & input control. When you press "Off" on one remote (to turn everything off), the other remote still thinks the activity devices are on, so it will not resend the power & input commands if you switch to another activity using the same devices. However, if you press the same activity again, then it will blindly resend all the discrete power and input commands. This blind re-sync feature applies only to devices configured and deemed to support discrete commands.
