How to turn off TV and receiver with Tivo Pwr button

This is kind of weird and I thought others might find it interesting and useful.



My TiVo slide remote came and I was programming the power and mute buttons to control the TV and receiver. Only after I programmed it first to turn off my Sharp TV, when I went to program it for the mute on the Panasonic AV receiver I accidentally pressed TiVo and power (instead of mute) again and then input the code for the Panasonic receiver.



I realized my mistake then and held the mute button and the TiVo button and then put in my code for my receiver. I thought I would have to go back and reprogram the power button for the TV but when I press the power button, to my surprise, the Sharp television and the Pioneer receiver both turn on and off.



The mute button and volume buttons still work on the receiver.



So bottom line is my power button now turns off the TV and the receiver



I tried this again with the remote that came with the Tivo and worked on that one too. I also told my son about it. Not sure what brands he has but he said it also worked for him. :)
