Hi folks. First time post. Not sure if this is the right place.
I am using a HTPC do some basic digital signage where the TV and computer both turn on and off at specfic times.
Problem: My Samsung lcd TV has an on/off timer that will only turn the TV on to a tuner source (air or cable channel) and not to a HDMI, composite or DVI source. Since my HTPC is reliant on HDMI (or DVI) output, I would like to know if anyone knows of a way to take it's HDMI output signal and send it/ convert it to something that the Samsung's tuner would understand- so I could make use of the on/off timer. Could a TV tuner card perform this function or maybe some kind of converter box?
