Hi there !

I have an harmony 885 remote, with a programmed activity which :

Power on the TV
Put TV on Video2
Power on Digital TV decodeur

I've got a firmware update on my Digital TV box (from my provider), which brings me automatically now in the "On Demand" menu, so that I have either to press "ok" or "Digital TV" each time I power on my material now, to go to the Digital TV directly.
I vahe tried to look to add a step to my activity that would send the "OK" or "Digital TV" command ... but was unable to find it.

I'm using the logitech soft on my PC ... could someone please guide myself on how to add this command step to my activity ?

Many Thanks !

For the Activity in question, select "Settings" then "Review settings for this Activity"

On the next screen select "Yes, but I want to add more control...."

Select "Save"/"Next" a couple of times and you'll get a screen where you can add extra commands to the Activity start and/or end sequences

Thanks, czzer, but it is not working this way.
If I do so, I see my TV and my decodeur are part of the activity.

I can add my home cinema, but this is not what I want to do (Home cinema is not used for this activity ...)
On the screen after, it is asking on which channel my TV should be. It is correctly set to Video2
On the screen after, I see the sequence of the activity; and I can add a step for a particular device (my decodeur) ... what I do ...

But the problem is what is presented to me is not convenient.
What is presented to me is either send a command, send an IR delay, or set a
channel.

Problem is that the command I want to send is not part of the drop down list (I need to send "OK" or "Digital TV" ...).
Is there any way I can add those 2 commands to the presented drop down list ??

Many thanks so far.

The drop down list presented is just the list of every command available in Device mode.

Select Device mode for the DTV box and try all the commands. The "OK" or "Digital TV" command may be there, but with a different name.

If you find the command, note what it is called, and add it as sch to the sequence.

If the command is not there, learn it from the factory remote.
