Picked up one of these the other day and like some of the newer features, but there's one problem with the way the RC comes in it's default user can't change programming. It's the feature that lets you pick what devices you want to turn on/off with one push of the "watch cable" button at the top of the remote.

I would prefer this action would only turn on/off my audio amp & tv, and NOT the DVR. By default it seems the on/off of the DVR is NOT an option for this feature and "watch cable" will always turn on/off the DVR. The reason I don't like this is because if you turn off all 3 devices at night, the DVR will stay on if it's recording and will still be on the next am. Then when you push the "watch cable" button, the DVR turns off and the audio amp & tv turn on. If the DVR is not recording when you turn off all 3 devices with the "watch cable" button, then all 3 devices will be off the next day.
Question is: Is there any way to reprogram this remote so the customer can have a choice as to the on/off of the DVR with the "watch cable" button?
As an example the older Atlas 1056 remotes http://www.urcsupport.com/html.php?page_id=289 could be programmed to fast forward 30 sec (button of your choice).
