After calling Harmony support and not getting much help I posted my questions in their forums and one of the other members there was cool enough to tell me how to trick the remote into doing what I want it to.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, if you make a custom button for a specific device (in my case it is for my receiver) the remote will put that button on any activities that use that device.  My problem was that I did not want the button when I use my Xbox 360 even though I do use the receiver with it.  Thanks to WannabeActuary over in the Harmony forums I found out that I can trick the remote by telling it the buttons are actually for my TiVo and not the receiver.  That way they only show up when I want them to.<\/p>\n<p>My love\/hate relationship with the remote has become a love-only relationship.  I&#8217;m now giving it 2 thumbs up. In addition to getting the buttons how I want with this little trick I was able to add a bunch of other cool options to the custom buttons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have not given up on my new remote yet and I&#8217;m glad I didn&#8217;t.
