[QUOTE="groovybaby, post: 1279909, member: 162270"] OK: Thanks for the recommendations, I've just ordered the last one you recommended, eg: A new [[URL='https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HP-USB-MCE-IR-RC6-Wireless-Receiver-and-TSGH-IR02-Windows-Media-Center-remote/283384380555?hash=item41fb067c8b:g:C8wAAOSw6Ptcj3OL']HP remote and IR receiver[/URL]] from Ebay, so I I'll have to wait for that to arrive. So last Sunday: After adjusting my settings to match your above suggestions, my HT went into the sleep-mode-automatically (SMA) OK, until (Wed) yesterday, eg: While in the development stage, I shut-down my HT overnight, so I re-booted. Then I tried my Medion remote, which didn't work. Then I opened the MP Configuration, to see what I could find out relating to the remote setup, then I closed configuration, and waited for it to go into sleep-mode, but it failed to go into SMA, and I eventually had to put in sleep-mode-manually (SMM) During the day, I tried it several time, but still it failed to go into SMA. There were no actions pending, except the 'EPG grabbing' the next morning. Today, I re-booted, then I waited for it to go into SMA, but again it failed. There were no actions pending, except the 'EPG grabbing' the next morning. So after several hours, I opened MP and set 2 programs to record later today. Then I waited for it to go into SMA, which it then did. So why is this happening? [B]Notes: 1: When it was failing to go into SMA: [/B] I noticed that my SDD-light was blinking every few seconds, although there was no obvious actions occurring. [B]2: In your above [I]PowerScheduler Settings[/I], you said:[/B] [LIST] [*][I]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).[/I] [*][I]Enable "prevent the HTPC sleeping while grabbing the EPG".[/I] [/LIST] I could only get to those settings after entering Expert-Mode. And re your last setting: I couldn't find that exact wording, but I found this (which I ticked): [I] Do not put the computer to sleep while grabbing EPG[/I] So was the correct? Many thanks. [/QUOTE]
