I've been thinking about kicking it up a notch with my 980 config.

I recently read about using the Record/Event timer to toggle a lighting variable. So when the user starts whatever activity the lights will either dim, come on, or not com on...etc etc.

I'm thinking about applying this same variable logic to create a perferred Fav channel start-up macro. Nothing too hardcore, but say the "watch cable" activity has been selected in the morning, so the STB defaults to TreeHouse for the kid. During the afternoon, (assuming the system isn't already running) it defaults to whatever the god foresaking channel is that broadcasts those dumb ass soap opera's, for the wife ;) ....etc etc etc

Consider it a sub directory to the user selection. Which only includes the wife and myself at the present moment. So the default options vary according to whos Fav list has been selected.

Any words of wisdom....? Possible time savers, or foreseeable pitfalls...? Good idea / bad idea...?

TIA guys
