There is a simple way to do this, but it is a little different than
the idea you had in hand.

What you need:
		1 X-10 appliance control ($12)
		1 X-10 clock-radio controller module ($35)

Plug the TV into the controller, plug into the wall.  Plug
clock into wall, set time, set alarm time.

You are all set!  With no messy remote control things!
