<br>_______________________________________________<br></blockquote><div><br>I dont think this is really something MythTV can do. It is more dependent on the video card manufacturer. Nvidia would need to make a video card that is CEC compadable. Then, Linux drivers to drive the hardware. At that time then MythTV could feed the driver the right bits.<br>
<br>One solution you could do now is to configure a IR blaster. Then when you push the 'power button' on your remote it will call a script to turn your display on and put it on the right input.<br><br>Mitchell<br>
