[mythtv-users] STB Power Status

[Ken Mink]

I've just finished getting a HD-PVR working with my cable STB(SA3250HD) 
on a slave backend. This morning I was just getting a blank screen. 
After restarting backend, reloading kernel modules, and few other 
things, I went into the other room and discovered the STB was powered 
off. Does any one know a why to determine the power state of the STB 
from the backend box? I am using a IR blaster for channel changing, so I 
can turn it on remotely. The problem is that the power command is a 
toggle. I can't just blindly issue a power command via the record 
started system event.

Thanks,
Ken
