I have a Harmony 659 and an xbox 360. Can I power the console off/on with it? Also can I use the dvd transport functions on the remote.
I am in a pickle. I only have 1 HDMI input and two things fighting for it. So I bought a switch from monoprice (the manual push button kind). I don't mind sneakering to the switch, but I am hoping the Harmony can do the rest for me (shuffle from pvr to game mode, etc.)
I am worried that I can't input two different devices on one input on the Harmony config util.
thanks

I have the Harmony H628 and it works fine doing anything the 360 remote could do. The screen on the remote also has spots for A B X Y, etc. Works fine

Edit: yes you can power the system on and off, open the tray, fast forward, pause, etc. You can even open the guide

Ditto with the 720

sweet. My life is in balance now.
The only worry I have in this world right now, is that I left for work hours early and forgot to turn off my my alarm clock.
