[QUOTE="MTBikerTim, post: 170586, member: 54432"] What I would like to do is control my TV via serial cable from the computer. This is so the tv goes on and off when the pc is resumed and put into standby. I have tried MCE Replacement and it can turn the TV off and on via the serial cable but for some reason it is not reliable and completely unpredictable as to when it will work. About the only pattern that I can see is that it seems to work once and then won't work for a minute or 2. This may have something to do the the TV trying to send acknowledgements back to the pc. Can anyone give me any recommendations on how to do this? Are there any other programs I could try that may work better with my TV. My TV is an LG but I am not at home so I can't give the exact model, all the serial commands are listed in the manual. As a last resort I may try to write an app to do this for me but this will take time and I'd rather get this working quickly. Thanks for any help in advance. Sorry that my first post is question. I try not to do this. Edit: Thought I had better add I am using Media Portal 0.2.3rc1 and MCE Replacement Plugin 1.0.3.1. [/QUOTE]
