Hi folks,
Just posting here as a lark, in case by some miracle someone else here has had a similar problem and come up with a creative solution.
I just upgraded TVs in the bedroom, which has caused me a new remote control problem. My current setup there is a Mini (connected to a Roamio elsewhere). I'm trying to figure out how to get everything to work with just a single tivo remote.
The old TV remote had a dedicated button for the sleep timer, which I found very useful since I often will fall asleep while watching. I also had one of the old (non-slide-pro) learning remotes, so I trained it to use the sleep button code when pressing the Input button, and now I could do everything I need from the one TiVo remote.
The new TV (a VIZIO P552UI-B2) has a sleep timer, but the remote doesn't have a dedicated key for it. You have to hit menu, use some arrow keys, select timers, use more arrow keys, get to sleep timer, then use the arrow keys some more to select the time, then hit the back key. It's a bit of a pain.
I've been using google-fu to see if there is a discrete IR code for cycling through sleep times, but haven't found one yet. And even if I find one, I'm not sure what I would do with it since the learning remote has to be laid end to end with a remote which is using the right code, which my remote doesn't do.
The only other thing I've been able to come up with is that the TV has a setting where it will automatically shut off if there is no input signal for X minutes. If I could somehow get the Mini to stop outputting a signal after the show ends, that would work. But after it times out you don't get no signal, you get the "push the tivo button or live tv button" screensaver. I also did some quick testing with the power saving mode on the main Roamio to see if that changed anything, but I don't think it did.
So, anyone have any ideas which would let me get my TV to shut off automatically without needs to keep both remotes lying around?

side question: Since I'm using the old learning remote, it doesn't have ABCD buttons, which is sometimes also inconvenient and I have to dig around for the original Mini remote.
Is there any way to access the ABCD button functions when using a remote that doesn't have them? I could have sworn it was possible by hitting the enter key from a list view screen, but can't get it working any more. Maybe it disappeared with a recent Roamio software update?
