How can I set a television to work with a light timer?

I like to set light timers when we leave the house for a trip. Ideally, I would like to have a television turn on and run by a timer as well. Now that televisions no longer have real two position switches for on off this doesn't seem that easy.

Are there any brands of televisions that have timers to turn themselves on? Or, are there any modern televisions that would turn on when power is restored from an external timer?

Also, is it possible to disable the auto off function on a Dish Network receiver or would I just need to use an antenna?

    A timer would do nothing. Doesn't your TV have an alarm function that turns the TV on and off at a preset time?

    Some universal remotes have a alarm function that would do the same thing

    I have a Samsung TV that will turn on after the power is switched off and back on from a power strip. It's just the cheap ones that don't do that.
