I have to admit I'm new to this forum, so please forgive me if my question has been answered.
I have very much been looking forward to getting my Skip remote. Like many, I'm caught using a Harmony and fearful that eventually my luck will run out on these no longer supported remotes. I have two locations where I am using a Harmony, though one of them the Harmony is very finicky and basically fails most of the time, anyway. That's where I have started with my Skip remote, and it is a very basic setup.
Essentially, a Samsung TV, a TiVo, a Roku, and a Vizio soundbar. What would I like: Use Button A to turn the TV on to the Tivo (HDMI 1). Use Button B to get the TV to turn on to the Roku (HDMI 2). Then use the remote to navigate either the TiVo or the Roku, depending on which is in use.
My problem: it is basically setup to work, when the remote is connected to my computer (Mac OS X) and using the "Test Actions" buttons. But if I try using the remote, either when connected via the USB cable or disconnected entirely, I get absolutely nothing. I assume the batteries are fresh (lights turn on when the computer is talking to the remote, and they are the new Duracells that shipped with the unit and just opened a week ago).
What am I doing wrong?
Second question: how do I get the remote to just change inputs, like from HDMI 1 (TiVo) to HDMI 2 (Roku) without going through a Power Down and then Power back up cycle?
I'm guessing more to follow, but these are my basic starter questions.
