Anyone found any secret button combinations that will let you set the 922 to turn off at the same time each night?

I know about the timer off.

Sorry no, but I'm looking for this too - seems silly doesn't it?!

The box needs to be off to update, but there is no automatic option, what if I forget?!
 
I wound up just setting the sleep timer to 3 hours at about 9pm that shuts it down around midnight and then it will update. In the morning the display on the box reads "SLP" and when I hit the power button it wakes up and asks if I want to go back to W5 and I say yes.

I've got it down to about 4 keystrokes
Crude but it works
 
I tried programming my Logitech Harmony remote to park the dish at G1 every night but being as how I use a DSR905 and a separate Uniden Supra to move the dish I had a hard time making it all work.......lately I have just tried remembering when and where everything I like is.
PITA but it's what I get for being lazy or forgetting to park it on G1 at night. Would be nice if you could get guide on any active 4DTV satellite..........sigh
