[mythtv-users] Suggestion for a feature

Anyone who uses an Sci Atlanta explorer 2000 Digital
Cable box or similar knows what I'm talking about, but
one of the main problems with  external channel
changing is that sometimes the box turns itself off. 
Now forget the idiocy of not having an always on
setting in the Explorer ( I've complained to TWC a
bunch of times).

A cool feature would be to use the blank screen
detction at show record start (or even live tv) to see
if any input is coming though and if not have an
external command send the power toggle IR to the cable
box.  (Unfortunately there is also no discrete power
on for these boxes.  What are these engineers thinking
anyway?)

Anyone else have this problem?
