how do most folks detect tv on off status...
In days before LCD tvs... I'd think a current detector in series with the 110 VAC Main would do the trick... but I'm thinking that there probably isn't as much of a difference between on and off with the new LCD tvs...
I can probably tell by "Pinging" my smart tvs... (I assume they do not respond when turned off?)... but for the non-connected televisions... is there a standard way of telling if it is on or off?
I realize it has been discussed before.. but a cursory search of the boards didn't turn up what I thought it would... so any help would be appreciated..
Thanks
