I did a search and could not find an answer to this so let me apologize in advance if this has been answered. I have an activity "Watch TV" that includes the TV (duh), the TIAB, and my cable box. I can turn everything on and off but I would like to leave the cable box on all the time and can't see how to do this. Know I'm missing something basic…

Hi
You need to edit the Start macro and All Off macro and delete the step that turns power on and off to the cable box. For example select "Edit" on your Watch TV Activity remote. Double click on the Start button. Select Modify Button. Select Macro. Select Edit. Press the red delete marker and delete the Power step for the Cable box. Do the same in the All Off macro. Now your cable box power will stay on all of the time.
