Any way to remotely turn on the HD-200 or have it automatically turn on?

[mkanet]

I regularly take sageTV server offline for maintenance. Is there a convenient way to turn on the HD-200 without having to go physically to the remote control and hit the power button? Or better yet, have the HD-200 constantly ping the server until it detects the server and auto-connects to it?

Check out this thread for a bunch of good info on restarting it via command line.

So the way it works now, when the HD200 loses its connection to the SageTV server it will automatically power itself off. So either run one of those batch files from that thread above or press the power button on the remote. Whatever is easier for you. For me I just press the power button. But I guess you could put the batch file in your server's startup folder but you'll have the HD200s power up everytime you reboot the server.
