RE: Streaming media players - new one and HELP!

["Sullivan, Glenn" <gsullivan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I took an X10 Universal Module, took the bits out of the case, and hard
wired it into the Xbox in momentary mode on the power switch.

I took pictures... I'll dig them up.

Take power (and X10 signal) directly from the power supply inputs and
attach the outputs in parallel with the original power button.

Now with an x10 command I can pulse the power button and turn the Xbox
on or off, and the demon spawn can still use the front panel button.

Or like me, plug the xbox power switch into a comfort output, and map a
cbus button on the DLT to toggle the power :-)

the xbox lives in node0...

Really? It's worked fine for me for ages. You can't turn the xbox on
from the remote unless you buy/make a module to let you do that though.
