Hi guys,

I'm also thinking about buying this remote. Mainly because of the smartphone/tab app. I'm going to use my Ipad mini as a remote and I'm struggling between this one or setting up a iRule. iRule looks cool but it looks like it is going to take some time to set up. What I'm after is making it as easy as possible for my 3 year old to turn on the TV (so when she wakes up she can go watch TV so mummy and daddy can continue sleep )

So my question is, all this activity buttons, is it possible to map one so when she presses one button, ideally with a Disney channel icon, so the TV starts, the HTPC starts and the Disney channel flips on?

I'm using a Zbox nano id63 with Windows 8.1 and XBMC frodo with VU+ PVR addon.

My remote is programmed with Eventghost so if any expert on Evenghost can help on how it would be possible to program it to start one specific tv-channel that would be awesome.

i don't use the app that often so i can't say for sure but i believe i saw in a recent update you can set your own activity icons now. as for automatically switching to the disney channel it should be doable though i'm not sure if there is an elegant solution. the elegant solution would be if xbmc allowed you to switch to tv with a single keypress and then automatically have it enter the channel numbers or something. the inelegant solution would be sending a command to take you back to the home screen, left, left, enter, down, down, enter or something like that. either way it would be more of a limitation in xbmc than the remote. the harmony allows you to add steps to power on and power off sequences that should let you do what you're looking for.
