I have the Harmony 880. Is it possible to do this? My problem is that I would like to toggle on and off the closed captioning feature of my settop cable box (scientific atlanta 8300HD) with one button assigned to the lcd screen of the remote. To do this with the remote that came with the device I have to press "settings":"down":"down":"right":"select". This will turn the teletext (or CC) on or off. I tried to create that keystroke combination as an activity but it it turns off the settop box. The TV and settop box is obviously on to start or the activity wouldn't be called on anyway.
My thinking is that if there is a way to stop the automatic turning on and off of devices automatically created by the activities wizard, the step by step instructions that I have programed will work. Is it a possibility?
A really ideal situation for me would be that when I hit the mute button (controlled by the TV) that it would mute AND turn on the CC. My old TV did this and we really got used to this feature (which is why I am trying to do this in the first place).
Overall, I have found this remote capable and the programability "relatively common sense". If you like tweaking everything you own for the pure satisfaction of amusement and/or furthering your superiority over all things electronic, then this remote is for you. I should also say that the standard setup wizard, possibly a little help from tech support and TIME will allow this remote to perform very well (at least for me).
