Maybe before you try an extender, see if the DVD will
turn on using the play button. If it does, you can modify
your action a bit to use this to your advantage.
Once you know the "state" of the DVD, you can turn it
off and it will go off, using the power button.
So, a macro might look like this, in the other action
macros for other devices.
send IR Play
Delay .10 sec (may need to vary this)
send IR Power.
Then in your Watch DVD macro, send the Play IR command
instead of the power command, to turn it on.

Dave, what a brilliant idea! yes, it works to turn it on with the play button, so I can use this trick. either you are a genious or a man with lots of experience or both! thank you very much!
