I don't know the Android app you are using, but the easiest way would be to create a button and and input ALT+TAB, or just teach it the command if you have an IR keyboard. I'd see if there is a forum for the Android remote app where you can ask how to set up the button.
Alternatively, you may be able to set up an existing button on the remote to start XBMC, or bring it in focus, by going to the XBMC exe file, right click to select Properties, then select the Shortcut field and press the button you want to use on your remote (you'll see the resulting string in the Shortcut field).
Hope this helps.

I do the same thing as OP, just with nircmd to minimize and pssuspend to save cpu cycles (my HTPC is rather weak, and tends to use a good chunk of cpu when XBMC is idle on home screen with my current skin). Also makes the transition between programs a little more seamless, at least for me.

I don't know how I would script it in autohotkey, since I do it with a batch file, something like:
nircmd win min process XBMC.exe
pssuspend XBMC.exe
cd "C:\pathtoyourlnk"
mce.lnk
pssuspend -r XBMC.exe
nircmd win max process XBMC.exe
And have the launcher point to the batch file
I don't know if it's the best way etc, am no programmer or anything, but it works quite well for me
And pssuspend/nircmd can go in C:\Windows

Can we get the coded links to these links?
EG: Netflix in WMC is {e6f46126-f8a9-4a97-9159-b70b07890112}\{982ea9d3-915c-4713-a3c8-99a4688b7c59}
What is Live TV?

I was looking something exactly like this since I have to use WMC for tv/recording because I'm stuck with a cablecard. However, the link in the OP for the zip didn't work.

Hi, I am looking into better script options and will post them as soon as I cobble something together. Not sure why the link is not working - it must have expired.

IMO, this looks to be the best way to integrate LiveTV and Netflix. I'd like to try this out on my build. Is there any way you could re-up the original scripts someplace? Thanks for you work on this.

Yes, man, I am very interested in this. the autohotkey file link is no longer valid.
