I'm using an old Sony Trinitron 20" CRT (Model no. KV-21T3U). After searching around online I eventually found a code to input using the remote while the TV was on standby to turn on the 'Service Mode' (pic attached), I dont suppose you know any way to turn on hotel mode from here? :D

I've been using WinLirc with reasonably good results forever, but if I could simplify, that would be even better! Less stuff running in the background is always a good thing. :cheers:

What is WinLirc? Does it let your TV turn on into AV mode? :)
Thanks!

I wired one of these wired into my AV button to "change the channel" after power on:

The device is powered by my PC, and the PC and TV power up at the same time from an energy-saving power strip (PC is the master).

Winlirc is software that will allow a computer to send and receive IR signals over compatible devices (many of which are an easy DIY build). Built a serial based unit and have it send the signals to power the TV on and switch to Video-1 once the front end has started up.

Oh wow! After no updates since 2006, they just released a new version of WinLirc on May 5! I just downloaded it and it has been rewritten to support other hardware than just serial. BUT, since the coder doesn't have serial on his computer, it might not work. If not, just grab 0.6.5 and you should be good to go!
