    Prevent System From Turning Monitor On

    this may sound like a stupid thing to want to do but i have my reasons... Basically in order to get my htpc working i had to code a vb script to handle a few errors etc... however even though you never see the errors when they occur my system automatically changes the channel on my tv to the pc which gets annoying if i am watching something and the channel changes in the middle of it... so is there a way, maybe an app or some coding, that i can prevent the system from waking the "monitor"...
