Well since my suggestion for DirecTV2PC actually did make it into a beta release (way back when i said i used a program called always on top, and d* implemented it yay) I figured i would through out something in here for the receivers, this would be a simple feature that should blanket all models. A built in sleep timer. E* has it, I need my tv on while i fall asleep and my dish boxes turn themselves off automatically after 2-3hours of inactivity. Yea I know i could just hit the sleep timer on the tv, but that would involve me finding the original remote to the tv, as that feature cannot be programmed onto ours. And since adding the remote feature would be dependent on every brand of television, it would be easier just to have the box turn itself off to conserve power after say 2 hours of not hitting any buttons. Opinions? maybe im just lazy...
