</div></div>The activity you will want to use is "MythTv" and I believe you can<br>
customize it to say that (it may be use a PVR or something like that,<br>
it has been a long time since I set mine up). What this will do is<br>
send any code to power on myth (not mine, myth is always powered on),<br>
power on your TV and receiver (or keep them on if Harmony thinks they<br>
are already on) and adjust the inputs correctly. The LCD on your<br>
remote will then change to whatever defined settings you have there<br>
for your mythtv (e.g., I have a play music, play recordings, play<br>
videos on that screen all linked to jump points for those activities).<br>
<br>
I don't think you can set an activity to just "Play Recordings."<br>
