Harmony Remote with DTV and OTA?

[jtcrusader]

I am sure I am in the wrong forum for this...but hope to get an answer....

I am getting a Harmony 550 (free with TV) and am using the TV's ATSC tuner (which pulls better than my H20-600). My question relates to ease of the remote programming...
...is there an easy way to switch from DTV to the antenna feed without having to push so many danged buttons? Thanks

Just program two activities - one for DirecTV and one for OTA. Then all you have to do is press two buttons (the activities button and then the OTA activity) to switch.

That's how I had my 550 set up before I purchased the AM21 for OTA. It worked great.

That's how I'd do it, but another option would be to at the very least put TV-CH-UP and TV-CH-DN in the "Watch Satellite" activity as soft buttons.

That's a great thought too. I do have some soft buttons setup on my remote to bring up the "Picture and picture" function of my TV so I can have DTV on one side and OTA next to it (works great for watching 2 football games at once).

Thanks for the tips.
