I think currently only AppleRemotes remote codes are supported, that is: Play, Play_hold, (Back,Fwd,Up,Down)(all with push and release events), Menu and Menu_hold. Harmony can be programmed to send exactly those
events.
There is a so called "Universal Mode" which is not yet implemented on AppleTV. IIRC it basically uses "Menu_Hold" as a start token, so that following button presses are collected and send as one event. This will allow users of universal remotes to program their remotes to do more stuff, e.g. go directly to video menu etc.
About loosing the small remote:
Probably worth a try would be to tie something like a big book to the small remote. That should help finding or prevent loosing it
events.
