In the case of CEC, shouldn't XBMC be receiving (or optionally receiving) a command for when the TV turns off?

Yeah that was my thinking aswell. So we disable any timer when we have CEC, as then we can assume that if TV is on and watching xbmc, user is watching xbmc.

Yes, the CEC involving begins to intrigue me. I don't know in detail the CEC protocol, but this behavior assumes that the TV sends a sort of "auto-off" signal instead of the "off" signal, no?
