I'd like to use my TV as an alarm (i.e. it would be cool if the TV turned on a music channel at 6am).

The problem is - I don't have a cable & the built-in feature is only capable of selecting an input the TV will start on (& switching to a particular channel if I had them).

So, is there a way to either:

• set the Shield box to work as an alarm clock, i.e. somehow make it turn on the TV at 6am and do an action like launch an app (there are apps out there that start playing music as soon as launched so that would be sufficient).

• if Shield itself cannot be set to work as an alarm clock - is there a way to just automatically launch an app every time it's being turned on by the TV's built-in alarm (less convenient than the 1st option as it would also start the music app every single time I turn the TV on & not just at 6am but that's not too bad I guess).

Any ideas how it can be implemented? I've seen some Dashboard apps for Android phones that may be able to do something like that (i.e. start streaming to Shield at a specific time which should be able to automatically turn the TV on) but the problem is I also don't have any Android devices other than the Shield itself.
