Cheers for the reply. I did consider mapping the number buttons the way you suggest but, it would be much easier if the GUI allowed it. My TV number problem has been resolved by Harmony, they said I hadn't taught the numbers for the TV (I know I did as I tried 3 times to get it to work). They might have looked in their 'back end' database for my profile, but the GUI definately had the numbers set. The VCR problem I've left with them.
What I've done is create two VCR activities, one based around "Watch Videotape" the other on the "Watch TV".
The first provides hard buttons for tape motion fine but the numbers don't work. The second loses the transport buttons but gives me numbers (in both cases the scroll wheel's fine).

A seasons wish to all.
