Apple's implementation of "multimedia tasks" lack the concept of
changing channels. Luckily, their remotes do have the concept of
holding down or clicking for different events so you really get twice
the actions compared to the number of buttons on the remote. Even
still, I've tried using it with my Myth setup and it's pretty sucky.
Only a Harmony remote will ever replace my $19 Radio Shack "learning
remote".
