I just purchased my third Harmony One remote - so now we have one for each room.
I'm having a difficult time configuring my remote for a system with both a "cable" box as well as a Roku.
The setup is:
- Westinghouse LCD TV/DVD
- Verizon FiOS DVR
- Roku HD N-1100
The challenge I'm having is that both the FiOS box and the ROKU are considered DVR/PVR devices, so the Harmony Remote software only sets up two default options:
- Watch DVD (which uses just the built in DVD on the TV)
- Watch TV (which switches to the FiOS on HDMI-1)
I really want a third option "Watch Roku" which would switch the TV to HDMI-2, turns on the Roku, and then sets the remote to operate the Roku for channel selection, pause/play, etc.
Any suggestions on how to configure this? Will I have to manually add all the operations for the Roku?
Help is appreciated.

Roku is considered as a DVD on the harmony database. You may need to create the following activities
- Watch TV
> Turn on FIOS Box
> Turn on TV
> Switch TV to HDMI1
- Watch DVD ( using built-in DVD)
> Turn on TV
> Switch TV ot DVD input
- Watch ROKU (should be created using Watch a DVD category)
> Turn on TV
> Switch TV on HDMI2
(No need to turn on ROKU, because it is always ON)
Regards,
CJ
