Are you saying that you don't believe us ....

In both S3 and S4 modes, the only power that is "kept alive" is the +5V SB rail, which is rated at a maximum of 2A. So the maximum power that S3 & S4 could consume is 10W. In both S3 & S4, the NIC and USB ports are kept powered by the +5V SB and the only difference between S3 & S4 in terms of power consumption is that the RAM is kept in a low power state in S3, which consumes very little power (~1W).

Hence, you will find that both S3 & S4 will consume about 2W to 8W (depending upon the number of devices being "kept alive".

HTH ....

Have everyone a working record solution from S3. My system don't wakeup from S3 to record from tv. Microsoft MCE is working without this problems on the same system.

Thanks

I use Hibernate because I have no UPS and a rather unpredictable electrical grid. Would probably switch to Standby otherwise. I use Powerscheduler to wake up from Hibernate and record, although this has been problematic lately. I'm not sure what I did, but for about a month I've had wake-up errors that crash MediaPortal about 75% of the time (MediaPortal has encountered an error and is forced to close, etc). I've taken to leaving the HTPC on whenever I have anything to record. Anyway, this is probably not the right context for troubleshooting.
