can i power on/off my xbox using the dvd remote control?
short answer: no
longer answer: yes, if you have an app running with "power down capabilities" (like evox or xbmp/c).

you can make or buy a xir-reciver (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&q=xir+xbox+remote&btng=google+search) (xbox infra-red reciver), which is a homemade mod with which you can power-on/off you xbox

i have evox 2.5 installed. how does this "power down capabilitie" work? do i also need a hardware mod?
you need a hardware mod to switch on via remote/game controller. switching off is supported by some applications.
i use the ir-mod (http://www.chiptech.de/content.php?rad_id=221&ctr2=207814ae6ebcdd5ec01218e0be9f4223) from chiptech. which works like a charm.
it even comes in a solderless version. unfortunately the manual only comes in german but i installed it by looking at the pictures. and i don't know german. *:)
this ir-chip also has support for switching bios-banks on your bios mod-chip. but i don't know if that only counts for chiptechs own bios mod-chip. (i have xecuter2.3pro and don't use it.) it is actually totally independant of the bios mod-chip.
and i don't work for chiptech *:lol:
