[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1250471, member: 141969"] The normal recommendation for an HTPC is to enable Windows "Away Mode" in the Windows power plan. This gives the behaviour that you have described: when the system wakes to perform an unattended recording, the system wakes with away mode active and [i]does not[/i] switch on output to the screen. If the user then presses the POWER button on the remote control or moves the mouse, the system transitions from away mode to normal mode, and output to the screen is enabled. If you are 100% convinced that enabling output to the screen solves the video breakup problem, you could try [i]disabling[/i] away mode to see if that makes a difference. Note: a side effect is that if you press the POWER button on the remote to "switch off" the HTPC when it is recording, nothing will switch off until the recording finishes, i.e. the screen will continue to display video (at least, I [i]think[/i] that that is what will happen -- I am not entirely sure). You will need to look at PowerScheduler to see if that controls "Away Mode", and adjust it accordingly (if you disable "Away Mode" in the Windows power plan, you may find that PowerScheduler enables it again if you don't disable it in PowerScheduler too). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
