Nightly shutdown for power saving
I am trying to setup a script to shutdown my computer at a certain time each day and restart in the morning. This is certainly the easy part for me.
My problem is that when I start my Sage box with the TV turned off, I cannot get a video signal to the TV when I do turn it on after the PC is has started up without the TV on. I am using a DLP TV with DVI and an Onkyo receiver that has HDMI switching. My Sage box has an nVidia 6600GT card. Does anyone know of a way to force the video output in XP if the PC is turned on without a monitor connected to it? Thanks. |

Yeah, my bios supports an auto power on feature so I was just going to simply shut down the computer by a third party app. and set the bios to turn on the computer at a specific time everyday.
I guess it could be possible that the receiver is the problem, if it is, then it must be that even if the TV is off, it must give some kind of signal saying that a monitor is present when the PC boots up, whereas the receiver cannot. All I know right now is that if I start my PC without the TV on and the receiver on, I will never get a picture. I thought about putting it in standby, but I figured a clean reboot everyday would be much better than going to stand bye. I worry about Sage not liking coming out of stand bye, but have not yet tried it. |

Certain USB devices have problem waking up out of standby, the USB-UIRT is one or at least I had problems with it when I was using it. But SageTV seems fine at least for the client, I'm not sure about server version. If the tuner works out of standby then I guess it should be okay.
You should test the booting up the PC while connecting to the TV directly bypassing the receiver to see if it works, either from complete shutdown or from standby.

I found the problem, it is the receiver causing the issue. If I leave it on and turn off the TV, then reboot, there is no problem, the same holds true if I put it into standby.
Looks like I will have to leave on the receiver if I am going to do this. Thanks for the help. |

BobP. Edit: and before you tell me that doesn't happen - it may not now but early bios's had problems like this for me. Last edited by BobPhoenix; 11-04-2006 at 11:08 AM. |

What video card are you using?
I'm using an ATI Radeon 9600 XT with a s-video selector (to switch between my computers and my DVD player) and as long as the TV is selected as output the Radeon detects it whether the TV is on or off.
To help a little In the Catalyst Control Center I have set the TV as the primary display and under Display Options / Display Management Options I have checked "If my TV is not detected: - Force TV detection". For those times I want to change resolutions or monitors I have set profiles with Hotkeys to so I don't have to start the Catalyst Control Center. I'm not sure if Nvidia has a similar option to force TV or monitor detection. Is the TV set as your primary display? *- Do you use a remote that has a button you could map to a hotkey to 'change' video display profiles if the monitor isn't initially detected. so you could hit the # button on the remote (after turning everything on) and the video driver would load your 'Theater mode' profile which would detect and initialize any connected displays. Hopefully not clouding or confusing the issue, Bobby Last edited by perfessor101; 11-04-2006 at 04:56 AM. |
