Use the Edit Keys in the frontend or the keymapper in MythWeb to assign 
a new keyboard key to a jump point like Watch Recordings.  Then use that 
key (say F12 maybe) in your lircrc file assigned to a button on your 
remote.  The macro I have in my remote uses that plus other functions to 
turn on everything.
