Josu,

I have a FE on an Nvidia ION platform.  It works great.  Does your tv
support CEC?  If so, you could possibly can get a CEC adapter for that box
and then, when the CEC adapter receives those signals, have it kick off a
suspend and resume, or shutdown, startup.  I haven't tried it myself, but I
believe, in theory, this should be possible.
