I know it will do it if the connection is vga. TV will also turn off when pc is turned off under VGA. I have a sony as well, and through HDMI there does not seem to be a way - unless someone else knows???

Another way to do this would be to use the MCE Remote and use the attached blasters to send on/off IR commands when you start and stop MP.

If you have an MCE remote or a USB-UIRT or anything that WinLirc or Girder 3 supports then you can use them with IR Server Suite to turn on the TV or other equipment.

IR Server Suite works like Girder or EventGhost or HIP, but it has plugins that integrate with MediaPortal and TV Server so it works better than those solutions where MediaPortal is concerned. It's also got some nice features like Network control and Command line tools to interface with other HTPC / Control apps.

Hope that helps,

wich i can turn on over hdmi,

That is the one thing that is not supported by 99.9% of graphics cards, there may be one being made, but they are not shouting about this ability very loudly.
