Where should an Xsight 18 question be posted? Is there anyone still discussing them?

I just got a new TV and had to reroute a bunch of video and audio inputs due to a lightning strike killing the HDMI out port from my receiver. I have everything working through a combo of hdmi or Component direct to new TV for video (bypassing the receiver), and either hdmi or optical/coax digital to receiver for audio, either direct from source or from TV. I have successfully reprogrammed the activities in my Xsight to be able to Watch Cable, Watch Movie, Watch TV Streaming, Turn Sys On, Turn Sys Off, but one is stumping me.

My new TV has built in WiFi, and the ability to pull in streaming video from the Internet - Netflix, YouTube, Amazon, Hulu, etc. I have the Xsight programmed for a Watch TV Streaming activity (actually Watch TV Str, lack of available text space), and the remote is happy to switch the inputs and leave me in control of the streaming screen, arrow buttons, Select, etc work fine in Netflix and others, volume still handles the receiver, etc. BUT, to get off the streaming function, on the TV remote, I have to press "Internet" and answer No/Yes to whether I want to leave Netflix. If I use the TV remote to do this, the video defaults back to cable TV. I have the Xsight programmed to "Exit Streaming", which pushes the Internet button, and allows me to make the No/Yes choice. Problem is, it doesn't return the Xsight to full control of Cable functions - eg programme guide, etc. For that I have to go to Activites, "Watch Cable". Not a huge deal, but it seems avoidable. I have the Exit Streaming activity following the exact same steps as "Watch Cable" after the TV: Internet step, choice of No/Yes. I also tried leaving that choice to last in the string.

How do I add a step to "Exit Streaming" to switch the Xsight to Cable box control after making the No/Yes Choice?
