Not to sound too much like a smart ass here, but over-engineering was  
what got us here in the first place (soft power switch).

Adding ANOTHER microcontroller to defeat the microcontroller already  
inside, seems like Microsoft-style engineering.  :-)

Oh well.  Just had to have a mini-rant there.  Sorry it's off-topic.

Or maybe it's not... KISS principal applies to both DTV boxes and  
repeaters!  (BIG GRIN)
