Hi All,

I'm getting my new tv this week. It's a Sony 42 inch rear project lcd.

I'm concerned about the light bulb getting proper cool down time after a power outage. When the power goes out the alarm goes off and you have time to properly shut down your tv. Just about any UPS will do this but..theres always a but...What about if I'm not there to actually turn off the TV?

I've been looking for a UPS that while hooked up to my HTPC could send a signal that would prompt a shut down signal sent to the tv through an IR blaster or something.

Anyone aware of such a unit?

Thanks
Leaf

I'll keep looking and post back if I find somethin.
