OK, so as far as I understand it's never possible to use multiple virtual apple remotes to get more buttons working in EyeTV,
1) Multiple remote support is designed and optimized for real Apple Remotes - not for use with Universal Remotes. The case where, on a six/seven button remote, you open a menu in order not to navigate that menu doesn't really occur for real Apple Remotes. At least I can't see that. If that'd be what you wanted with a real Apple Remote, you'd simply not open the EyeTV menu in the first place.
2) When you're outside of EyeTV's menu, you can customize the mapping of any and all multiple Apple Remotes and the actions will be performed accordingly.
every virtual remote will only use the standard button function. Am I right?
The up/down/left/right/menu/select buttons will navigate the EyeTV menu when its open - and execute whatever action you've assigned to them when it's not open.
Out of curiosity, because I really try to understand: what would you want to do other than navigate and use the EyeTV menu when you open the EyeTV menu?
That is really a big petty... is this because of EyeTV reglementations?
It's the side effect of using a feature for what it hasn't been designed for. That said, I'm well aware of the popularity of "abusing" this feature for Harmony Remote support - and am in contact with Logitech on this subject. And that's all I can say about this atm.
Or ist there any hope that this will work in a future Remote Buddy version?
I generally don't comment on future versions. Sorry.
