I'm looking for a fail-safe way to keep my Dish receiver powered up. I have ledxmit working on my MythPC. So far, all I've been able to find is a POWER code to send to the receiver. This only toggles the power. There is no POWER_ON code like some other equipment has. Right now I'm thinking I'll have to put a photocell on the front of the box, run it through and op-amp, and into the parallel port. I'll have to hack something together to do an irsend when the photocell goes dark. Lots of overhead engineering with that system. Anyone have any ideas? Incidentally, I have a UPS, so it should hardly ever go off, but I want to take into account the cat lying on the remote, etc.
ADVthanksANCE!
Regards, JJ
