I bought a Harmony 525 today and initial thoughts are its a pretty cool remote. Just running into a small problem but I think thats more down to the fact im using a 5port auto hdmi switch by neet which is having "handshake" issues with my Sky HD box?

For some reason when I turn the Sky box on it never auto switches, xbox 360, ps3 turn on and off fine.

So I thought I would try to be clever and send manual command after turning the TV, Sky box on then signal to hdmi ir to port 2 but doesnt work :(

Any suggestions?

This is the HDMI switch Neet® - 5 Port HDMI AUTO SWITCH BOX with REMOTE - 5x1: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo
 
Try power cycling in a different order, sometimes silly things like that make the system work as it should in the first place.
 
Didnt make the slightest bit of difference, I suppose I could just use HDMI 3 for SKY instead of using the auto switch.
 
Handshake issues are a bummer :(

If you can use another input port go for it, it'll save all this flaffing about.
 
I got this remote to replace the 8 in the bloody living room at the moment but if I go in and remove them all with this one WWIII will break out lol! Might try swapping the SKY hdmi cable with the others ones im using with the XBOX etc I doubt it is the cable but worth a try.
 
Contact customer support Bally,they're really good,spent over an hour on the phone(they ring you back from Canada!) to try and get my 525 sorted,when they couldn't sort it out over the phone they went away and wrote new software for it as it wasn't switching my inputs on my LG TV properly and then downloaded it to my 525.
 
Think iv figured it out, was missing the neet hdmi switcher in activity list so added it and made sure it selects hdmi 2 on the switch using IR because the auto select doesnt work for some reason. Will test and update.
 
Sorted works perfectly now! Just need to fine tune VM and Sky functions now but that I will do another day.
