I also have a QIP-6200 for my Verizon service and I believe the key to why sa3250cmd always returns status 2 (on) is because the box *is* always on -- unless it's unplugged. ;) By which I mean, the power button on the unit or remote that controls the unit only puts the box in a standby mode and needs to be woken by the MENU button. If you hook up the QIP-6200 direct to a monitor or TV, you'll notice that when it is "off" a floating screen saver that tells to you press the MENU key to watch tv. I've spoken to Christian about this in irc, but I've never gotten around to implement something in 6200ch to send the MENU command via firewire.<br>

I don't have my box hooked directly to a tv, so I can't test to see if this is true for my STB. Hm, I wonder if this is a setup/configuration option?</div>
