So I've tried to create activities on my Harmony Ultimate to launch Netflix, iPlayer, 4od.. both on Fire TV and Apple TV with no joy. Well, I've managed to code the correct key presses as per some instructions I found online and that all works fine -- but when the app loads I cannot control it. It seems to think the Harmony is controlling something else.

When in the app I noticed that although my AVR is plugged into HDMI 1 on my TV, the Harmony seems to want to set my TV to a 'Netflix' input :confused:. So, when using the "Watch Netflix" activity, although the app loads on the AppleTV, if I hit anything, it seems to be controlling the TV itself.

And in the MyHarmony app, I can't seem to override this? :confused: The Panasonic TV shouldn't control Netflix, or be on a Netflix input; it should be HDMI 1.
