Question Adding favourites to a Harmony 885
When I try to add favourite channels to my 885 I get the following error:

The 'Watch SKY+' Activity does not understand the command 'ForceState Watch_SKY+_Channel 0'

Can anyone shed any light on this please?

This may be nothing to do with your problem but some time ago I seem to remember someone reported that using + in the activity name as in Sky+ caused some problems. Try changing activity name to Sky or SkyPlus.

Yep I guess its the + is the problem. I had a similar problem with a bracket ( in my command name. Same error as you are seeing.

That worked a treat, thanks . Once that was sorted the icons, background and screensavers worked first time too.
