Heh - not yet.  I've got a TSU2000 and one of these days I'll probably
get around to it.

It's very doable.  I've created a profile for my DVD, TV, Receiver, VCR,
LaserDisk player, and Tivo.  Works great.  Especially since I've retired

Never seen any battery issues, but as far as the second issue goes, you
should check out Tonto (tonto.sourceforge.net) for creating/editing ccf
files.  I've been using it for years!
