URC Tech Support tells me there is no way to do it, but I figured I'd ask here as well.
I have an installation where I only have DirecTV feeding the TV.
I would like to set up macro that would work directly from the Watch/Listen buttons.
Step 1: Press Watch button
Step 2: Macro fires and turns on TV, Sat, and jumps to favorites page.

Any way to do this without having Watch button go to Watch page where one has to press function buttons?

File : User Preference : Check User Defined Hard Key : Create Macro on the button

That's in stand alone editor, CCP not sure but I believe you have to create that macro elsewhere and hide it if you wish, copy it to clipboard and then paste action on the button.

Otherwise if the system is that simple you could place that macro on the ON hard button to accomplish the same thing. I typically have Watch Page : On button setup to configure system for most used source anyway (usually cable or sat) but do not perform a page jump. That way the client can at least see/hear something happening on screen/speakers if they press the ON button. I'd really prefer there to not be an ON button at all.

I'd put the macro on the "on" button as well, then page jump to the DTV page you created. No need to use watch or listen ever.

I like using on/off because most clients are used to pressing on/off on OEM remotes. On is always system on and off is always system off. Nothing to get wrong.

Guys, I like that. I will use that as well.
In this case the install only has a Watch page for DTV (no AVR), and Devices button that takes them to a page to select which camera they want to see (running thru modulators on ch. 40,42,44,46,48).
