I am very intrigued by this remote, but am concerned about their "return policy" like many on this board.

As all of my gear is new, I have little concern around general workability, but wonder if anyone who already has the remote has had success with a setup containing a HD DirecTV receiver (happens to be Mitsubishi) AND a DirecTivo (Sony SAT-60).

Two big questions:

What happens with the TV listings as you switch between them?

What about the multiple occurences of the "same" channel I get with my Mitsu HD DBS? For example, the local HD channels come off my terestrial attenna and I get locals through DBS (really for DirecTiVo recording), but they're not HD. Both are "listed" with the same channel number by the HD-DBS.

How well does Harmony know what's going on in this case?

Thanks to anyone with insights!

You have to understand the basics of how harmony works. You would set up activitys, such as "watch HD Local", "Watch Tivo TV", "Watch HD Sat". By swiching activitys, your component/antenna/inputs/tv guide will turn on/off or switch as required. In a nutshell, it knows exactly whats going on.
