Greetings Mythizens, It seems that since adding the "check_stb" script, that the stb is turned on when Myth or I turn on the PC, which is a good thing because as I've read and as my limited experience confirms, The DCT700 needs to be excited first before responding appropriately to IR. Now that the system is setup to turn itself on and off, I'm guessing that another line or so should be added to the "setwakeup.sh" to turn the stb off as a further power saving factor. Can anyone confirm and or direct in this endeavor? Below is "check_stb"<br>

FWIW, I'd recommend measuring the at-the-wall power draw of the STB while powered on and off. Many (most?) of them tend to have no appreciable difference in power usage. A Kill-a-Watt is a great way to test.<br>
