</div>Am I missing something here or would a simple solution be a learning<br>
remote that turned both devices off when you press the poweroff<br>
button?<br></blockquote><div><br>I'm quite interested in this idea, but as Jan said, not everyone uses the remote control to turn off the TV (I certainly don't when I'm going up to bed - I switch the TV off at the wall).<br>
<br>What I believe Jan (and I) want is for MythTV to "detect" that the attached screen is powered down, and therefore (I would guess) run a script which would return it to the welcome screen or put the FE into a sleep/hibernation state.<br>
