Activity: Watch TV
Remote: Logitech Harmony One
My new system is like this:
TV: Samsung UE55D7005 (Connected to Home Theatre Digital In (optical))
Home Thetre: Samsung HT-BD2E
Sattelite Box: Miraclebox MB8 HD S PVR (Connected to TV HDMI3)
Activity configigured as:
Turn on TV, HDMI3
Turn on Miraclebox
Turn on Home Theatre, Digital In
As the system is set to change channel on the sattelite box and adjust the volume on the home theatre no activity adressed to the TV after it is power on.
TV is set up to power off after 2 hours of inactivity by default, but I had to change that setting due to the lack of activities on the TV
Is there any "dummy" signals to point to TV during other activities just to keep it alive?
Solved! Go to Solution.

You only specified Watch TV activity so what are the other activities are you talking about?
If you are just watching TV an it turn off after 2 hours, you could press the Help button to get the TV turned back on. You could also try defining two sequences under the Watch TV activity. One would be to disable the power save and the other would be to activate it. Alternatively, define two Watch TV activities, one with power save and the other without.

Thanks for your advise, but I already solved it in a different way: I use a sequence, the number buttons send channel number to the box and volume down to TV, also channel up and down and volume up and down sends volume down to the TV. In this way, normal usage keeps TV alive.
