Abstract
A remote control that switches assignment of actuators from operations of a currently active source device to operations of an automatically detected active source device is disclosed. The remote control may receive a selection to change a parameter of the active source device based on activation of the actuators on the remote control. The active source device may present content and may be registered with the wireless home entertainment hub. The registration may prevent the active source device from association and communication with a different wireless home entertainment hub.
