is there a way to some how use a remote to turn your computer and off like a tv. i use my computer as a tv a lot and it sucks to have to get out of bed when your half asleep to shut your pc down.
 
i have this extact same problem and would also like to know if this is possible. which it is. you would need a infra red receiver on your comp somewhere that signals your computer to turn off/on
 
The windows media center remote has a power down button.

But I'm pretty sure you cannot turn on your computer from any remote.

I suggest you use a stick to pressed the button. :D
 
you can get a wireless usb mouse where it has an adapter at the usb slot

use it when you are in bed
 
with a wireless mouse though you would have to navigate your way to the start menu from accross the room and unless you have like a 30 inch monitor that would be hard since you could not see the cursor
 
I use the wireless mouse, hard to see from the bed even though its like 16", but it gets it done!
 
some bios's will let you power up with a mouse click. if yours does that, your could use a wireless mouse for powering on.
