I still don't know why the two of you are using the Listen to store your devices. Have either of you ever programmed an MX850? You get one 'Main' button. That's it. If you need somewhere to store the lesser used commands of a DVD player or CD player, store them on the other pages of the device. Use Page 1 to store your primary commands that you use all the time, and pages 2-whatever to store everything else. There's no need to have a completely seperate "activity macro" take up a spot in the watch section. The remote is meant to be entirely activity programmed. If you need access to just the device, you go to pages 2-whatever of that device to have the rest of the commands, not to the listen page.

I'm guessing you both are ex-Harmony users. The world of URC is different. There's no need to seperate activity and devices when you can easily just access the device by creating a push-and-hold macro, which you've all ready done, Jester.

The 'Watch' and 'Listen' buttons are there so Joe Anybody can pick it up, and decide what they want to do. Do they want to "LISTEN" to a CD or "WATCH" a DVD? That's why they're both there. Not so you can store devices.
