I have kind of a complex question:
I would like to have a set up where a TV is on all the time, but I would like it to switch between sources automatically at set times
for example:
9am-11:30am - television (always on the same channel, like CNBC)
11:30am - 1:30pm - computer (a powerpoint that is set to flip through the slides automatically)
1:30 - 5:00 - television
then repeat 3 times to get to a full day so you'd have TV again in the late evening and overnight
However, I do not want to have to use a remote, OR have to switch anything on the TV or the computer
I cant figure out how I would go about this, some thoughts, thought I dont know if any of these are actually possible:
1) Run the cable into the TV and the PC into the TV, the TV switches automatically
2) run the cable into the computer via a TV tuner, set to full screen, have the powerpoint running all the time in the background, then at set intervals, the TV will switch over
3) run cable into computer via tuner and set the TV tuner as a slide in powerpoint? so have the slides rotate at set intervals
so you would have like 1000 slides, set to 10 seconds each and then have the "slide" that is the TV tuner just be set to 2 hours, then resume the slides until you get to a total of 8 hours?
anyone have any thoughts?
