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".
