Is there such a thing as a universal TV remote control that has a timer to turn ON a televistion at set time?
I have a projection television that has a circuit board problem. It works perfectly but requires a “warm up” period of about an hour or two hours before you can see the picture on screen and then after it warms up it is crystal clear. Repair estimates are in the range of almost $400 so I have resolved to buy a new projection television, but want to wait til Black Friday (day after thanksgiving) to get the best deal which is 3 months away. I am looking to find out if anyone knows of a universal remote control that I can set on my coffee table right in front of the TV and allow it to turn the TV on an hour or so before I get home so that by the time I get home the TV can be watched.
I have seen something like this MANY moons ago for a VCR, back in the day that would turn the VCR and press record for you in case your VCR didnt have a built in timer. Yes, I know that real old school!
At any rate does anyone know if a remote control exists that has a timer function to turn my TV on?
Yes there are. The function is generally refered to as a wake-up timer. I believe that Sony offers remotes with this function. For example with the Sony AV2500 you can create macros to wake and sleep a number of components.
