I have the 659 but I was wondering how I could make my favourite channels appear on the LCD when I create a custom activity.
What I've done is delete all activities and only set one custom one with the volume sending signal to my amp and channels and numeric pad sending signal to my cable box. The rest of the button are mapped to the PC. What I cant figure out is how to make my fav channels appear on the LCD when I'm using my customized activity.
Thanks Abbas

Only "Watch TV" type activities have the link to set up TV content including setting favourite channels. Instead of creating a custom activity, create a Watch TV activity, and when asked what devices to include, select the TV, the cable box, and the amp. The wizard will ask what you use for display - the TV. It will ask what you use to control volume - the amp. It will ask you what you use to change channels - the cable box. At the end it will ask you if you need any further devices - add the computer as a passthrough device. Once complete, go into the options for the new activity and change the behaviour of buttons and assign the keys how you want them. You can then also use the Setup TV Content link on the activity to set up your favourite channels list in the LCD.

Thanks for your response
I tried what you suggested and on Harmony's site, I have input the favourite channels. Yet when I use the Watch TV activity, instead of the favourite channels, it's showing me a list of all the commands from my cable box!
