    You could do something like this:
    1. Put an AplianceLinc or On/Off Module near the TV
    2. Put a Y splitter cable on the insteon module and connect the TV and tv signal provider receiver
    3. Create an event to turn the Insteon Module on and off
    4. Use the HSTouch interface from your mobile phone to turn the equipment on/off with Wifi and no harmony hub.
    5. you are running some form of homeseer.

    I have a laptop always running with Linux HS3.
    My kids TVs are on Appliance Lincs and get auto-shutoff for bed.

      One thing to check before doing this: Make sure your TV and STB retain their last state when they lose power. IE turn the TV ON, unplug the TV for a minute or two and make sure it comes back on when plugged in again. If it defaults to OFF when power is restored, this scheme won't work.

      You could also send IR remote control signals to the TV and STB. I use the Global Cache IP2IR iTach Wired TCP/IP to IR, which works very nicely with HomeSeer. That gives you many more control capabilities than just turning the power on and off.
