[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1298263, member: 141969"] Wouldn't a universal programmable remote control do what you want? I have a Logitech Harmony 650 (sadly no longer available) which I have programmed to switch on and off relevant devices and set the inputs as required. For example, my "Watch HTPC" activity does this: [LIST] [*]Powers up the HTPC. [*]Powers up my Sony TV. [*]Powers up my Cambridge DAC. [*]Powers up my Teac analogue amplifier. [*]Sets the active inputs on the DAC, TV, and amplifier as required for this activity. [/LIST] Most of the buttons control MP, but the volume and mute buttons can be set to control any of the other devices (such as the TV, if that is what you want). :) The sad part of this is the discontinuation of the Harmony range of remotes, which was the only reasonably-priced remotes that offered true power-state tracking for each device (meaning that activities would work even with devices that supported only a power-toggle command). One-for-All remotes are programmable using the RMIR open-source software, but One-for-All remotes do not support power-state tracking, so they can be used for activities only if all of your devices have separate power-on and power-off commands. :( -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
