Ahh, duh! I use a MCE remote but have the power button programed to power off my tv. I am going to see if I can get my MCE ir receiver to pickup the pioneer tv power off command, then I can have it power off the tv, and the mythbox will run the script as well.<br>
<br>After thinking about this, I think I am going to have problems picking up the programmed pioneer power signals, so to simplify it I put a ir transmitter on the pioneer and reset the mce remote to the default power button that the receiver will recognize, then set my script to power off/on the Yamaha receiver, and the Pioneer tv in the same script, and like you did set it to return mythtv to the "main menu".<br>
<br>Thanks Brad for your direction. <br><br>Note: I am also going to see if I can set mythtv's sleep to call this script, so once sleep is activated on this box it will return mythtv to the main menu, power on/off the appropriate devices...<br>

</div></div>Not the solution you asked for, but I solved this by using a Harmony<br>
remote. When I hit the Power Off button, it powers off my TV and my<br>
Receiver and also brings MythTV to the main menu so everything is<br>
using as little power as possible while still leaving my mythtv box<br>
running. Then when I watch something, I hit a custom "Watch<br>
Recordings" button which powers on the right stuff and brings MythTV<br>
to the Watch Recordings page.<br>
<br>
You don't have to get a Harmony remote to do this since there are lots<br>
of remotes that allow for macros, but this was the easiest for me to<br>
get working and my kids no longer leave the TV on LiveTV with this<br>
setup. :)<br>
