For all of you out there who own a Mitsubishi RPTV and have not been able to get the inputs working with your Harmony One (or really, any of the Harmony remotes), today is your day. No more cheap fixes, or sloppy work arounds...
I take zero credit for this fix, but let me say, this fix has elegantly solved all of my input problems. Basically, it appears that the input database at Logitech incorrectly took the input values from Mitsubishi at face value... Probably more Mitsubishi's fault than Logitech's... Not sure when Logitech will update, but in the mean time, you can reset/re-record the values correctly for your remote using this process.

By the way, before I did these steps, Input-1 was displaying Input-1 on the screen but it wasn't going to Input-1. (So both Input-1 and Input-2 were not functioning for me.)
* Set the Mitsubishi remote control switch to TV mode.
* Press and hold the power button until it flashes.
* Press "0" - wait for two flashes - press "0090".
* The remote is now set up in direct input selection mode.
* Power turns things on. Stop (on the VCR section) turns it off.
* Press "Input" and then either a Number or one of the function keys - each combination matches up with a particular input.
* Press "Format" and then a number from 1-7 - depending on which input you're on and what type of signal, you'll go directly to the selected format. (The numbers match up with the order in the manual).
* Press and hold the power button until it flashes.
* Press "0" - wait for two flashes - - press "0935" and the remote will be back to normal.
Input + 0-9 produce random results -- no wonder the Harmony database
wasn't perfect:
Input 0 did nothing.
Input 1 displays Input-1 but it isn't Input-1. Seems to be nothing.
Input 2 gives you Input-3
Input 3 gives you Input-4
Input 4 gives you HDMI-2
Input 5 gives you Input-2
Input 6 gives you Input-1
Input 7 also gives you Input-4
Input 8 gives you Ant-2
Input 9 gives you Ant-1
Input + F1-F4 produces reasonable results:
Input F1 gives you HDMI-1
Input F2 gives you HDMI-2
Input F3 gives you HDMI-3
Input F4 gives you HDMI-4
For the record, the other annoying thing about this TV is that it takes up to 21 seconds to respond to commands after power up. Although I can understand that it would take awhile to power up, the TV could buffer the commands you send it...
But for now, the Mitsubishi WD-73835 is the best 73" TV you can get and the picture does look real good, with more detail than a movie theatre. (And good colors, brightness, configuration options, 3D capability, etc.)
Oh, in case anyone needs this info...
Format + 1-7 produces reasonable results:
Format 1 gives you Standard
Format 2 gives you Expand
Format 3 gives you Zoom
Format 4 gives you Stretch
Format 5 gives you Stretch Plus
Format 6 gives you Narrow
Format 7 gives you Wide Expand

Wow... Huge kudos to Eric, this solution was the needle in the haystack for me. One, single page on the vast abyss of pages on the internet that solved my problem so completely, and pefectly... Thanks Eric!
I wanted to build on this work a little... I have a Mitsubishi WD-65835, and I had almost the exact same problems. My Input-1 on the Harmony One remote would switch to a "fake" Input-1, which would not display what was attached to Input-1 on the TV. (plus of couse, all the mess with the other inputs as described by Eric). In addition to this, my "input list" differs a little from what Eric found on his WD73835, so I thought I would share my results of the input list with the WD65835 (look for the *)...
Input 0 did nothing.
Input 1 displays Input-1 (Apparently a "fake" Input-1)
Input 2 gives you Input-3
Input 3 gives you Input-4
Input 4 gives you HDMI-2
Input 5 gives you Input-1 (This is the "real" Input-1, and the one you want to use)*
Input 6 gives you Input-2 (use this one for remapping your Input-2)*
Input 7 also gives you Input-4
Input 8 gives you Ant-2
Input 9 gives you Ant-1
These worked the same on my tv.
Input F1 gives you HDMI-1
Input F2 gives you HDMI-2
Input F3 gives you HDMI-3
Input F4 gives you HDMI-4
Cheers!
