Start Extenders in Live TV Mode

#1

Hello guys,

Is there a way to start extenders in live tv mode with W7? I know of Media Center Valve. I just don't wish to use it.

Thanks,

It's just a checkbox on my Echoes. What kind of extenders do you have?

Xbox and HP smart connect. I found out that you can actually create a batch file calling the live tv string on the HTPC and set it as a logon script to the extender user. It doesn't start Windows Media Center in live tv mode per se but it does start live tv 5 seconds after WMC launches.

The batch file solution does work great to automate Live TV on an extender, but does anyone know a way to get it to go to Live TV more quickly like it does with the Ceton Echo setting?
