Your TV doesn't have a serial port, does it? My Sharp Aquos does, and
it's relatively simple to write a script to check it's power status.
Other than that, the only thing I can think of is to see if maybe
something gets written in the X log about it (it doesn't on my system,
but perhaps if logging level was higher or something).
