TEAC 80cm .. boot into AV1

Speaking of this, we've just installed Foxtel IQ and watch all TV
through that. However our Teac 80cm TV always defaults to the last
*tuner* channel we watched.
Does anyone know if it's possible to convince this cheapo TV to 'boot'
into AV1 every time?
The model number in on the back of this thing .. it's huge and heavy
I'll get it if it really matters, but the TV is about 6 years old .. I
doubt TEAC change their 'software' too often.
Cheers!

Don't know, but if you are keen enough you could build a circuit which
detects the mains current being switched on and then triggers a micro
or PICAXE to drive an IR transmitter and send the remote code to switch
the TV to AV1. That's if you use the power switch.
If you use the remote to turn the TV on/off then maybe you could get
one of those fancy macro remotes that lets you send both commands with
the one switch. Or once again, build your own remote to do so.

Oooh .. I have SCART out of the IQ .. and the TV has SCART .. but it's
using an adapter as the Foxtel supplied cables have RCAs. You're
suggesting that if I get a SCART/SCART cable, then some action with the
IQ will turn on the TV and request the SCART point?
I'll have to go read the manual .. sounds perfect

Re: TEAC 80cm .. boot into AV1

I have a Teac set top box and an RCA/Thomson TV connected via SCART.
If the TV is off (switched off via the remote) when I turn on the set top
box the TV will power up and select the SCART input.
If the TV is already on switches to SCART input.
You'll also get a better picture than RCA cables, but I can't guarantee that
the above will always work on all TVs. Having said that it doesn't appear to
be a "special feature" or anything.
