Quick "thess's Logitech harmony remote control obsession" update--thanks to an earlier poster I realized the Fire can be controlled via CEC, so once the CEC device link is up over HDMI, the tv itself can send commands to the box. That said, I can emulate everything BUT the "return" (back out) button on the Amazon remote, which is really crucial for xbmc. This is via a newer model Samsung smartv. I at least have a Stop button working now. Going to look into a key map addon that was mentioned earlier.

If you could use a keyboard with the FireTV, and the back function worked on that, why not program your Harmony Remote as a Microsoft Media Center keyboard?

My understanding is that the FireTV doesn't actually have an IR sensor, so the Harmony can't talk directly to it. Its own remote connects via Bluetooth (I believe). So, if you want the Harmony to work with the FireTV, you either need to find a backalley way to do it like thess did via CEC, or you need to hook up something like a flirc.
