[X1-X2] Quick question about the new XR5 remote

I've been thinking about buying the new XR5 remote to replace my XR2 remotes just for the TV Input button. However, in my living room I have my cable wired up through my A/V receiver (and the XR2 remote controls the volume on it just fine). My question is whether the TV Input button can be configured to control the inputs on the receiver or only on the TV. I haven't been able to find any information about this on Comcast's website. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I don't have one, but unfortunately, I think the TV Input button is only for switching a TV set's input.

Here are some pages on Comcast's site about the XR5 remote:

Also, you can try going through the selections on this page and see what it shows under "XR5" -> "Audio/Other" for your make/model A/V receiver:

The button only controls TV inputs, sadly.

Thanks for the information guys. That's too bad, the new remote was so close to being perfect. Oh well, at least you guys saved me $20.
