I have this exact activity setup on my harmony one. i.e turn on amp, sky and set to a radio station. How is the activity setup, have you used the "add extra commands to start of activity " option in which to select talk sport? Does it do the same if you select tlak sport, or any radio station, from the favourites screen? i.e miss the 0 off?

Hi, yes i have gone into the add more control options and after a few clicks it says to enter the channel number which has 0108 written in it but it still misses the zero at the begining not sure if thats what you mean but i have not seen anywhere where i can pick a favorite channel as part of a macro.

This is a known issue with the Harmony software. If you use the feature in the activity setup for a watch TV activity to go to a specific channel it misses the leading 0 off. The workaround is to not use that feature and instead add four additional commands to the activity start 0,1,0,1 (like broadsword mentions) To do this you need to go through the review activity process and ...

Yes, this is a known problem, and the guy at Logitech who didn't know about it ought to be sacked.

thanks for your help guys, i have got the jist of your walkaround and am just doing an update. I recon its gonna work this time. Any one know how to get a longer gap than 15 seconds between macro button presses? I want to create the ultimate lazy thing and have it start the ps3 and play fifa 10 and get it to automaticaly press the starts and "X" buttons so that i dont have to do it ...

It won't fix the problem - the separate number commands are the only fix there is, and it isn't really a fix anyway, it's one of the basic options. If anything else would have fixed the problem I wouldn't have made the comments I wrote in post #5. The reason why "the menus look exactly the same as the old one" is that all makes of sky HD receiver use the same commands. You can include as many ...

Fantastic - It works.. i can now get it to automatically go to channel 0108 without missing the first 0. Thanks a million. Has anone got a longer button delay than 15 seconds from the software? Fifa 10 takes 28 seconds between button presses during startup "when rooney kicks the ball" Cheers

I don't think this will fix the problem. It seems to be a problem in the software regardless of the device / model. The work around mentioned below is the only way I've seen to get around the problem
