Hey Guys,
I recently had to learn the sad truth about my Grundig 42 GLX 6052. Turns out, it does not support CEC.
So I started thinking...
All I wanted from CEC war to turn of the TV whenever XBMC goes to screensaver and turn it back on, when I become active again.
Although, since I have my HTPC placed in an MS-Tech MC-1200, I can put the HTPC to sleep by remote control and (because the Case has a special wiring from the always active purple ATX line to the IR PCB) even wake it up with that same control.
My Idea is to use an IR LED to send the Standby/Wake signal to the TV. All I needed would be an IR LED (maybe connect a microcontroller to the Serial port) and Put that LED right in front of the TV's receiver.
and a little Script would do the rest...
Anyone ever heard of that, maybe I don't need to do all the work by myself, if someone has done something like that before..
I am grateful for any suggestions you might have on that topic
