Well done. I have a harmony One and it's really very flexible indeed.

Regarding HDMI source switching on the TV, that should be possible too but will depend upon the exact specifications support by your TV - it has to allow discrete source selection commands, though you may be able to come up with a system that manages even with a source cycling approach, for example if the TV always goes to the same source when switched on initially this would not be too hard to do. I have a Samsung TV and although the TV's own remote does not have discrete selection of source, the TV supports the discrete source selection codes and these were already setup in the Harmony database.

I've made that sound far harder than it really is - the online database of activities and supported devices means it's really straightforward.

The Harmony One is far more stable than the Tivo remote too, with a less rounded underside and a better centre of gravity - so should spend far less time chasing it around the floor.
