Macros are great... but I was wondering how people are handling the problem of no dedicated on/off for most components. I would like to create more macros but feel limited since the pronto never knows if the unit is already on or off.

Well, for me two macros - on *and* off, and *I* have to know what state equipment is in. :-)

In my case I have placed ALL(7) of my old remotes in a drawer.
I have one macro that turns on my DSS, PreAmp and TV sets the PreAmp to DSS and opens my DSS Guide.
I have another that turns them all off. If I want to watch a DVD (since I open the caddy to place the DVD in the caddy the unit is on) it changes the PreAmp to DVD dims my lights and starts the DVD.
I have one to turn off the DVD and return my lights up.
Hope this helps

Take a look in the MACRO TRADING thread, there's information there that you will find interesting. (Most of it involves using a One-for-all remote to get the discrete on-off codes)
Good luck
