Harmony 885 / Program direct to sky HD channels

I understand that some how you can make a command so that you go straight to the HD channels, e.g. TV guide then press red

Does anyone know how to do this and then add it is a button to the LCD screen?

Thanks

Re: Harmony 885 / Program direct to sky HD channels

Hi there, I may not be of much assistance for this am afraid since I only configured it yesteday but can't you setup a new activity "Watch HD" and use the button presses for that?

Edit: This thread may of some assistance. Hope you sort it

Re: Harmony 885 / Program direct to sky HD channels

Yes i've got it set up to watch the sky form an activity. I am now trying to make it do 2 commands at once, ie tv guide then red button - this takes me straight to all of the HD channels in the TV guide

Anyone have any ideas?

wouldnt get too carried away with setting it up to do the guide and red button to get the hd channels listed as this is about to change to a numbered option within the sky guide, it has happened already for some sky hd users.

Re: Harmony 885 / Program direct to sky HD channels

Just set up an activity called Sky HD then just programme the favorites with the HD channels. OK if you are just going to watch one of the channels and two button presses more will let you go to the EPG for recordings.

How did we ever cope when we had to get up to change channel?

If you set out to fail and succeed, what have you achieved?
