Ok I have a Philips 42TA648BX/F7 LCD TV. and my Harmony 510 remote simply will not go to the correct input I know what the problem is but don't know how to fix it.
I have method 1 for my input selection, so you repeatedly press the input button in order to cycle through the inputs, but I can't figure out how to tell the remote that the first press of the button shows the current input, and then each additional press of the input button changes the input. So in order to changed 1 input slot you have to press the button 2 times, to move the input 2 slots you have to press the button 3 times.
Somebody please help.

Hi and welcome to the forum - help is at hand.
First read Section 26b on this link to check whether a better input method is available for your TV.
If it is then try it out; either way let us know the results.

Try altering the TV's power on delay in the Harmony software. It's likely that the input select codes are being sent before the TV is ready to receive them. My Panasonic TV takes around 10 seconds from power on before it's ready to receive any commands.

Its not that even if the TV is completely on the programming always sends 1 less inputnext command then needed, because the first press only brings up the menu and then each addition press changes the input.

This confirms that you are not using Method 2 as explained in Section 26b.
If you will check whether it is available to you we will help further if required.

I attempted to use method 2 but my TV doesn't have the commands required to use it. But I did end up using method 3 and used a alternative method of switching inputs.
Thanks for the help and ideas.
The selection is very slow is there a way to alter the delays for button presses.
