Timer controlled TV/DVD player? Can't Post

Hey,

I've got kind of a strange question, and I wasn't sure of even what topic this question falls under, but I thought that it is kind of a tech question...
anyways... here's what I am trying to do, and I was wondering if it can be done?

I would like to set up a television monitor with an infinite looping DVD in a display case.
I want to have the television come on and the DVD player start playing at a certain time,
and then to shut down again at the end of the day.

Is there any way this can be done without having to manually do it everyday?
Do they make some kind of universal programmable remote control?
Or can some DVD players be set up to automatically start playing as soon as the power is turned on? ( cause maybe then a basic timer might even do the trick)

I was hoping someone could help me out with this little problem I am having.

Thanx,
