I want to be able to automatically (hopefully using UPB) start and/or stop the TV signal going to a TV in my house. OK, here's the scenario...
If I allow my teenage daughter to have a TV in her bedroom then I want to be able to turn it off at a certain time. Now, I could use IR transmitters but since I can't detect if the TV is on or off then I would just be toggling the power state.
I could use a UPB appliance module (or a higher amperage module) to control the power to the TV but then I have to deal with resetting the time and other settings on the TV due to the power going out.
It seems like I should be able to control the TV signal directly from the wiring room. If there were some kind of device that would pass the coax signal through an on/off switch then that would be ideal.
Of course, any messing around with the TV signal wire means some loss of signal and that could be a problem. Hmphhhh!
Any ideas? Other than not allowing a TV in my daughters room.
