Hi,

I'm looking to create a super super basic setup for someone in a satellite only TV location.

Just wondering if it's possible to turn a TV on and off via the sky remote, via hdmi link and CEC control?

Has anyone done something like this reliably, without resorting to a universal remote?

Thanks,

Jaxson.

I think you can get a basic universal remote that looks like the sky remote, but has the volume and power controls programmable for the TV.,

Hey that looks really good. I like that and wasn't aware of it. Thanks!
