AOL, I use the power button on the remote which kills the frontend then the backend automatically shuts down when it's idle. I was using the wireless keyboard to turn it on (sat on a speaker behind the sofa so just reach behind and hit it ;-) ) but as I never use for anything apart from that the batteries are dying and I probably wont bother to replace them. I've been giving it some thought recently and I thought it might be possible to hack a keyboard or mouse to give a key/button press when they detect an IR signal, it would have to detect the correct button otherwise any remote would turn it on. Trouble is that the only (hardware) decoders I looked at would be so much grief/expense (for me anyway) to design/build I think I'll just walk over to the box and hit the power button. :-) David
