Yell This is a major FLAW – the remote should be able to remember that the tv and audio receiver are on. When I switch from "Watch Cable" to "Watch DVD", it turns off the TV and receiver! Major drawback. The software should know that the TV/receiver are already on, and just change the input.

We agree that would be nice for cases where discrete on/off isn't supported, and we'll look at that for a future release. We include the macro help alert to solve the problem in the case you mention, or if the on/off setting was changed by another remote or an IR signal wasn't properly received.

Surprised Harsh Jumbi,
I'd say this is nice to have, but it's not a fail-safe if something else changes the state of the power on a device. A flaw would have been not to include the confirm macro alert. The state memory feature would be a nice addition. A "Major Flaw" would be something that makes the device unusable, while you're asking for a "nice to have" feature.

I know it's not what you want, but you could make a second macro so that with one you power on all devices and change inputs and a second that just changes inputs.
