Unless you have a device that doesn't work quite the way they
expect, in which case you're stuffed.

We have a TV set which is pretty hateful, and that is I suspect
largely down to software.  When you turn it on it goes to the
last channel the analogue tuner was on, when you press "AV" it
goes to the last input it was on.

Harmony expects either to go to the last input you were on or to
go to a consistent channel/input.  No amount of faffing about has
been able to convince it to do otherwise, and *that* is down to
their setup software.  It's simply not a case they expect and you
don't have sufficiently low-level access to be able to fix it.

So we use ours more like a "normal" universal remote, completely
ignoring all the stateful stuff.
