[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1191046, member: 141969"] Because I use hibernation, I use my own really weird system, so I am not that familiar with the precise details of using PowerScheduler. But I think that in essence you define a relatively short time interval for the "sleep timeout". This is the time that the system runs without user intervention before sleeping. Typically it might be 15 minutes. So, if you boot Windows, and leave it on the desktop without user intervention. the system would sleep after 15 minutes. If the system woke to perform an unattended recording, after that recording had finished, the system would sleep after a further 15 minutes had elapsed. The sleep timeout is a property of the power plan that you are using. You can define that via Windows' "Control Panel". You [i]may[/i] be able to persuade PowerScheduler to do that for you, by making appropriate selections. If you currently have PowerScheduler set to "expert mode", edit your power plan via "Control Panel", enable sleep, and set the sleep timeout to 15 minutes (or whatever timeout you want). If you currently have PowerScheduler set to "non-expert mode", look through each of the tabs to see if there is somewhere where you can select sleep as the power-down action, and specify the sleep timeout. One other point -- you may need to stop playback and/or exit MediaPortal before pressing the POWER button on your remote control to send the system to sleep. If you leave playback running (e.g. live TV), it may stop the system sleeping (I am not sure about that, as I always exit to the desktop before hibernating my system). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
