Sky Box Rebooter? + "Cutting it" request

[Andy Brockhurst <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Anyone got a solution to turn on a sky box when it resets?

Yesterday we had a power glitch, not enough to reset TiVo or any PCs, 'cos
then I would have known about it. But the sky box went to off. (We've had
this before when we were home and spotted it).

I was thinking of monitoring the SCART pin (which one anyone?) and if it
goes low, the box is off, trigger something to turn it back on.

However anyone actually done this? Expensive?
I don't have any IR generating hardware except TiVo (and the normal brace
of remotes).

And secondly, anyone got "Cutting It" TiVo'd, VCR'd anything from
lastnight, I am risking the wrath of SWMBO, 'cos TiVo carried on recording
nothing through the 1st half until we spotted it. (and no it is not
repeated in the near future).

I'll refund a CD/DVD, anything? Please!


Andy
