I've created a new customization for the "Watch ReplayTV activity that eliminates the need to switch modes on the remote. Try it out an tell me what you think. You'll have to cut and paste the XML below into your Watch ReplayTV activity. You may also want to set it as the starting menu for the activity, and you'll definitely want to reduce the inter-key delay setting on the pvr component to 0.

After it's installed, you'll have a new mode called "Magic Mode" in the Watch ReplayTV activity. You can toggle in and out of Magic mode with the '*' key. All other modes work as usual. In Magic mode, the scroll wheel is used to navigate up and down. Pressing the wheel sends "select", the other side button sends "exit". For those rare occasions where you need to go sideways, the frame advance button functions as a right arrow. The "Help" button will bring up the ReplayTV menu. The "Zap" button toggles commercial skip.

Vader, great idea...I'm new to the 768 and I'm in the process of setting up mine. I tried dumping your code into my RTV setup (named Watch TV) where I thought it would be appropriate (in front of the channel list setup), but it does not appear in the activity. Do you have any guidance on where this code should be located? Also, have you tried setting up your Harmony to change channels using you cable box rather than RTV? I really hate the delay with RTV changing channels, and frankly the IR on older RTV models is quite poor.

As You've already seen, Your 'Watch TV' XML is not the right place to put it. You should remove that part of the XML from the 'Watch TV' XML and create a Configurator like this:
- Add an Activity (from the main page)
- Add one Activity
- Utility
- Configurator
- Select your activity (should be 'Watch TV')
- Name the Configurator as You like (My Macic Mode etc.)
- Save

Now You've created an empty Configurator for Your 'Watch TV' activity. You edit this Configurator like this:
- Customize (beside Your 'Watch TV' activity at mian page)
- Modify the xml for Customizations to this Activity.
- If You have just one configurator for Your activity, You go right into it here (should be true in Your case.) If You have more than one, You must select the Configurator to modify (therefore: a appropriate name on it is preffered when creating them)
- Remember (or save) the value of the USERCONFIGURATORID in Your XML before You overwrite it
- Replace the whole Configurator XML code with the MagicMode XML from vader504. Insert Your saved USERCONFIGURATORID
- Also insert Your ID for Your device into USERDEVICEID (If You don't know how to find it, let us know)

Hope this work
Jan Inge

If you're using ReplayTV you should have a Watch ReplayTV activity. If you don't I suggest you delete the Watch TV activity and let the Harmony website create the 'Watch ReplayTV' for you (or add it manually). Then select "Customize" for this activity on the main page, then "Modify the XML for Customizations to this Activity" and paste the XML in there.

Jan, thx for the help. I found the settings and ID info after a bit of searching.

Vader, the only issues I had with your setup were a few missing IR commands for my version of Replay (3060). The commercial skip command, exit, and channel guide commands needed to be learned. Once I performed that update, all was well. Thx for sharing the code.

Now to see if I can get my 768 to use the cable box to change channels....
