Basic remote control question - madman71 - 2014-08-27
Hi all,
Is it possible to go from say live TV directly to the XBMC interface with the touch of 1 button on the remote? It doesnt seem like it's possible since the XBMC device (a computer) has a physical connection to the TV. Im trying to avoid toggling though my INPUT selection on my TV.
thanks guys

Why wouldn't that one button be "input"?
RE: Basic remote control question - madman71 - 2014-08-27
yes, but that is an extra step. Im trying to avoid that step and go directly to XBMC with a pre-defined button.

My old TV had IR codes not on the remote for switching inputs - I only found out about them after getting a harmony remote and using the bundled software.

Which harmony remote? I have the lower end 300 model.

A 700 and some other model too.. Have a look in the TV profile in the harmony software.
