Just got this remote ... it's my first Activity-based remote. I thought I understood the concept well, and for the most part it works as I expected ... but there is one thing that troubles me. My cable provider offers several music channels, so I have an Activity to watch Cable and another to Listen to Cable. Watch cable involves the receiver, TV and cable box, whereas Listen to Cable involves only the receiver and cable box. So far so good. Here's the issue: when I am watching TV and I elect to switch to Listen to cable, it leaves the TV on. Shouldn't it turn the TV off? That's what I thought Activity-based remotes were all about. If I have to show my wife how to navigate all the way back to the individual device control just to shut off the TV, the concept loses a lot of the promise.

So, did I screw something up? Is it a device issue? Or am I expecting too much?

Thanks!
