Does it know what devices are already on?
Does this remote remember what devices are already on? For example, if I am watching TV and I decide to play my Xbox One (and hit the Xbox or Gaming Programmed Activity) does it realize the TV is already on and just change the input or will it run the command to turn the TV on, which turns the TV off?
In my experience, if you are using the activity based commands, it does remember. I think this means you need to use the help button to fix an issue with an activity (i.e the receiver comes on, but the TV doesnt) rather than digging into the device menu and manually fixing the issue. This should not be a problem because the "help" button really, really works. I was not expecting that functionality at all, and to me it's the best feature of the remote.
