It should be possible to have Myth switch the TV off if it's not
actually playing anything and the keyboard hasn't been pressed for 5
minutes. Whether this involves simply turning the screen blank or
actually turning it to standby mode may depend on the telly - I
_think_ some models have an RS232 input which can be used for
changing channels &c.
