[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1279793, member: 141969"] One cause of this is an incorrect setup for EPG grabbing. Basically the HTPC keeps repeatedly grabbing the EPG, and this prevents the system idling to sleep. For DVB-T/T2, it is important that you follow the recommendations on [URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal1/DVB+EPG']this page[/URL] in the Wiki. I cannot access the Wiki at the moment, but from memory: [LIST] [*]Select only one TV channel to grab from ("BBC1" or "BBC1 HD" recommended). [*]Do not select any radio channels to grab from. [*]Do not select "grab EPG only for channels on this transponder". [*]Enable grabbing while idle. [*]Disable grabbing while timeshifting or recording. [*]Increase the time between grabs to 24 hours (= 1440 minutes). [/LIST] In "PowerScheduler": [LIST] [*]Use the "EPG" tab to cause the HTPC to wake once per day at a time when it is not in use (04:00 hours, perhaps). [*]Enable "prevent the HTPC sleeping while grabbing the EPG". [/LIST] There are different ways of setting up EPG grabbing, that have different advantages and disadvantages. The suggestions above are intended to get [i]something[/i] working. Once that has been achieved, you can consider whether you want to refine it to better suit your style of use. -- from CyberSimian in the UK - [/QUOTE]
