Hi,

I can't seem to figure out how to do this despite having to go through the manual, FAQS etc. on the harmonyremote.com setup website. i want to be able to add a custom button for one of the activities (Watch TV) which uses two devices: TV and Dish network Echostar PVR-942 receiver. The custom button is "Toggle Closed Captions". The button should automate the following set of actions that I typically do with the satellite receiver remote.

1. Press Pause.
2. Press Menu.
3. Press 8.
4. Press 8.
5. Press 1.
6. Press Left.
7. Press Select.
8. Press Right.
9. Press Select.
10. Press Exit.
11. Press Exit.
12. Press Exit.
13. Press Play.

The sequence of commands basically pauses whatever is playing, navigates through the dish receiver's menu to change closed captions control and then returns back to the program that was paused and continues playing it.

How do I write a macro for that and have it show up on the front screen for the "Watch TV" activity?

thanks,
Osho
