[QUOTE="ixian, post: 389786, member: 54932"] Since by definition everyone here using this is using an external set-top box, I thought I'd ask this here: How are you all "waking" your STB's if they are in sleep mode? For example Dish receivers (and DirectTV too I believe) go in to a sleep mode if left idle too long, to save power. In Dish's case, you get a screen that says "Press Select to continue"; you then press select (on the Dish remote) and after a few seconds it comes back up with the channel it was last tuned to. Naturally this is a bit of a problem with TVServer; I usually run in to it every morning when I get up and turn on the TV. I need to figure out a couple things: One, how to have my remote map the "select" key so that it blasts that key to the STB using (in my case) the Hauppage blaster, and two, if there is a plugin or something that can do so automatically. Surely I'm not the only STB user running in to this - how do the rest of you handle it? [/QUOTE]
