Can this be done with a Harmony (885) ??

I currently have an old Pronto which still serves perfectly. However, we now have a second room in which I'd need a single remote and am considering to go for the Harmony now, especially because of the far better price and larger community. I realize however that a Harmony is far less flexible than a Pronto and would therefore like to check if I can do certain scenarios with them.

1. At the homepage, press 'Play Game' via one of the 8 soft buttons. Then a second page appears where I can choose the actual console with a soft button, e.g. 'Play XBox 360'. Being able to customize the graphics would be neat (e.g. using the console logos).

2. At the homepage, press 'Watch TV'. Then a second page appears where I can choose a category for the channels, e.g. 'Watch News'. Then a third page, where I get a list of all news channels (preferably with logos) and where I can scroll with the left-right buttons in case there are more than 8 channels for the chosen category.

3. Can I customize the selections on the homepage (activities) ? Because I'd like to have there 'Watch analogue TV' and 'Watch digital TV'. But all screenshots seem to show the same standard icons (e.g. watch DVD with the popcorn backgrouns).

BTW, isn't there an emulator with which I could see how it all works ? I can do that with ProntoEdit, it would be nice to have for the Harmony's as well.

Tnx!
