Scientific Altalnta 4250HDC How to Turn on with HDPVR?

[joe123]

Hi.

I have an issue where my STD Box Scientific Atlanta 4250HDC will turn off one two twice at night.

I am using my HDPVR to tunned the channels on the STD box, but the options have nothing available to "Turn ON" the box. I always leave the box ON, but lately it goes off at night and I get the dreaded RED SageTV icon when it does not get data from the STD Box during a schedule recording.

So, anyone knows the code or how to tell the HDPRV IRBlaster to Turn on the box if it's off?

My Time Warner SA4250HDC has an option in the Settings menu under Devices there is a selection "Power-on Keys" select "Power Numeric" this sets the box to power on when a number key is pressed or the power button, has worked like a champ. If the box is off and a channel change happens it powers up and does the change.

Cool and thanks!

So to make sure I understand, when you say a "number key is pressed" you mean the IR Blaster change channel will automatically turn ON the STD box if it is currently OFF when the IR Blaster sends the IR channel change commands to the STD box?
