Erm, just how did you do this. I too have the colour buttons
"greyed out" on the left side of my remote but can't seem
to find ANY way to either activate or delete them? I have
gone DEEP into the customize section but to no avail.
All the other preset buttons (both hard and soft) seem
to appear somewhere in the button customize section, but
not the colour ones? Also, what/where is the "live TV"
button that is in the customize button section. I cant
find anything to press for this?
Cheers
Usually, the reason that the colored buttons are "greyed-out" is because the activity wasn't properly set-up to take advantage of the devices funtionality. Example: I have a Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300HD cable box. This device has built-in PVR. The A,B,C, Live TV buttons work only with the PVR function...those buttons are useless when just watching cable. When I first set-up my activity, I used the "Watch TV" set-up. Because the colored buttons are useless to this function, they appeared "greyed-out". To fix this...I redid the activity using the "Watch PVR" set-up. I renamed it "Watch TV". The colored buttons are now functional.
Sounds confusing, but is pretty easy. Hope this helps.
