I think you are over engineering how to layout your remote.
Place your DVD, Xbox and Cable devices under the Watch
page. Place the CD devices under the listen page. Create
a macro so that when you press DVD, it sets up all your
inputs properly (TV On, TV Component 1, Receiver DVD,
DVD On, etc.). Since you have the MX900 you can create
press-and-hold macros. Create a press-and-hold macro for
1 second and have it skip the macro, and just go direct
to the DVD page so that if you need to access the DVD
commands without having all your TV inputs and receiver
inputs change over, you can.
Email me and I'll send you a few examples of some clients
remotes that I've programmed. To be honest, you're making
your remote harder than it needs to be.
Actually, over the 3 days that I had it, I came up with almost the same layout. Watch is for activities. Listen for components. Tap a Watch based page 1 button to run the macro. Press and hold to take me directly to the page without running the macro.
What I still need though is a way to increase the repeat of the command. Right now I've resorted to putting the command twice in a row to compensate.
