Operate TV
« on: May 25, 2004, 08:21:08 am »
For those of you who are using TVs in your setup and have glass/bezel in front.  How do you control the TV?  I am guessing that the glass/bezel would block the remote's IR sensor?

Try this: Put the bezel on and check it.  If it doesn't work, then clear a hole in front of the remote sensor on the tv.  

It will be dark because the tv is blocking the light from the back, so it won't show too much.

Don't need to control the TV.  My TV (an old sony 27") stays on video mode and automatically powers on when I turn on the computer using the smart strip.  You need a TV like this if you plan on having "one button start it all."
