No, it uses the same ir code to turn on and off, that is why I use the pin on the parallel port to sense the power LED of the TV to determine the state of the power. I had thought of the X10 idea as I use it everywhere in my house and I am thinking about writing an X10 plugin for Myth. In the case of yanking the power from the TV, this will not work as my TV needs to have a number of settings made every time the power is interrupted.. :(
