</div></div>If you go to <a href="http://members.harmonyremote.com" target="_blank">http://members.harmonyremote.com</a> and login, then press<br>
the more button, on the right there will be an activity for your<br>
mythtv entry.<br>
<br>
Change the behavior of buttons will let you assign the buttons under<br>
that activity to specific devices. It sounds like the device for most<br>
of the actions is not set correctly to your pvr device.?<br>
<br>
Other than that, it sounds like you may not have the right devices<br>
assigned to the activity. You can just re-run the setup wizard for<br>
that activity and properly select it. That should do it.<br>
<br>
(You can do all of this with the windows software I am sure, but I do<br>
not have that available).<br>
