I believe Harmony remotes have a standard setup option to handle this
type of input selection. They will also keep track of the current
input to aid with this. Of course, you may have synchronisation issues
if you use any other remote to switch inputs.

Also, even though this is the only method for changing inputs from the
supplied remote, many TVs also have additional discrete remote codes
to directly switch to a given input. Harmony remotes usually include
these in their database if they're available.
