I use a firefly remote with x10 mapping. I'm looking for a way to link the power button on the remote to turn off the tuner in myTV. This will ensure that timeshifting is also turned off, and will stop the computer from tuning/timeshifting when I dont want it to.

Any ideas? I cant seem to find the right function call to Turn TV off or Toggle TV on button.

If you have the TV actually playing in full screen mode then you need to send a string of commands

<Actions Button="TV" Description="Back">
<KeyAction ActivationState="Down" Keys="{esc}{esc}{esc}{b}" />
</Actions>

this assigns 3 esc's and a 'b' to the TV key such that it will kill the full display and return you to main menu and then stop TV. This should be added to your mediaportal profile file. make sure you remove any other assignments to your TV key.
