I had one of those TV viewing figures boxes that record what your
watching... that could tell when the TV was on, (and what channel I guess)
using a SCART lead and something that looked like a heart monitor type
connector, which i guess was some kind of electromagnet... I am guessing
that when the tube is charged, the charge is great enough to affect
something like a sensitive reed switch mounted to the case of the TV.

worth a try maybe?

There are X10 devices that will tell me whether a device is on or off.

But is there anything that will tell me electronically whether a TV is no=
t
on, ie. off, or on standby?

And then is there anything that will allow the remote switching of a TV
(or
other device) to stand-by mode?

Regards,
Ian Tresman
