While changing the clock display on my Scientific Atlanta 3200 STB this afternoon, I came across a great discovery...
The only problem I've ever had with IR blasting my SA3200 is that sometimes I've missed a recording due to the cable company rebooting my box periodically and when they do it turns off (even though it was on) - most recently this happened about 3 weeks ago. Well this reboot (presumably for a firmware upgrade) or one of the more recent ones was well worth it. I noticed a new option on the menu today called "Set: Power-On Keys". There are two options: * Power * Power and Numeric Setting this to the second option forces the SA3200 to power itself on when it receives the power key or any number key. When the box is off, pressing a number on the remote forces the box to power itself on and send the number pressed to the box. Not sure if this is a recent firmware upgrade or not, but I just noticed it today. I'm with Rogers Cable in Bowmanville, ON so at the very least this setting should be available for anyone using this box with Rogers in Greater Toronto Area. I've tested this by turning off the box and then doing a channel change in Myth. Blasting a three-digit number when the box was off worked everytime so this definitely seems like a solution to ensuring that the SA3200 is on when Myth starts a recording on it. - Derek _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
