As for the Listen/Watch thingy, I'm not huge on those
buttons. Usually I treat them as if they had different
labels, such as on a Harmony, "Activities" and "Devices".
I program all of the macros under the "Listen" page and
all of the device selections under "Watch". If you found
that you could fit everything on one page, you could make
the two duplicates of each other. Or you could use one
and not the other.

I'm not a huge fan of the "Listen" and "Watch" buttons either. I'd much rather them be labeled "Devices" and "Activities" as will be the case with the R70. I'd also like the ability to program these buttons per device.

I programmed a MX-950 this week for a very small setup. The user only wanted activites for watching cable tv and dvd's. In this case I was able to fit everything on one page, including jumps to his receiver and projector device along with a device to toggle the power states of his equipment if needed as illustrated below.

Cable
DVD
Audio
Video
Power


I set this up under the "Watch" device, then just copied that page over to Page 1 of the "Listen" device this way the user doesn't have to worry about which activity button to hit up.
