I was working on this so I could put my monitor to sleep and unsleep with the power button on my remote. I just now got it working. There's a script that checks the status of the monitor and switches it. It's a little more than you were looking for, but it works in an on/off capacity. I'm almost certain that if the monitor is turned off by the timer, the script would recognize it as off and turn it on.
<br><br>Details are here: <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/DPMS">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/DPMS</a><br><br> I substituted 'button = POWER' for 'button = Red'<br><br>I've also seen a version of the script that kills mythtv, so if it's playing a show, you don't still hear the audio, and then restarts it on wakeup command.
