Switching between activities

[purpleman]

Hi,

Coming from a Harmony remote, trying to figure out what's the best way to configure my workflow for the Skip 1s.

Basically, I have two Activities. Acivity A is for watching TV (turn TV on, switch to Antenna input, button clicks go to the TV itself), and Activity B is for watching my Nvidia Shield (turn TV on, switch to HDMI input, button clicks go to the Nvidia Shield).

My question is, how do I switch between the two? If I power on using Activity A and the TV is turned on and the input is on Antenna, and I want to switch to the Sheild, my understanding is that if I then click on the "B" button it won't switch my input the HDMI (knowing that in the previous activity I was on a different input).  What's the right way to go at it with the Skip 1s?

 

Thanks!

So your goal for switching is to only switch the HDMI when switching from A to B? 
 

In that situation, you could use an unused button, perhaps something from the number pad, to be an additional hdmi switcher.

Thanks for your prompt response, Nathan, much appreciated. I responded in another thread asking about the same thing:
