One way is to configure LIRC so that your lircd.conf file contains a<br>valid entry for your cable box remote's power button which works with<br>the IR blaster.<br></blockquote></div><br>If you've only got a power "toggle" command (
i.e. same command turns the box on and off) be careful. Even if you get it switching on and off it's only got to miss one power command (or have someone switch the box on or off without Myth knowing) and you'll have Myth switching it off when you want it on and vice-versa.
