Dave,

I had a similar problem with my TV and "solved" it by using the second suggestion by Clay. In the macro I would input a specific channel number for the TV (i.e. 02). This would put the TV in the Video 0 mode. From there the macro would simply hit the video mode button once to always put it into the Video 1 mode. It's a clumsy way to resolve the problem, but it has worked fine for me so far.
