    I am unsure how to configure MediaPortal and the TV server so it starts the PC automatically at night, grabs the EPG from the DVB-S channels, and then shuts down again. Obviously, I have to activate the PowerScheduler in the TvServer and select "Prevent standby when grabbing EPG", activate the "Wake up system..." options and select some days. I have also activated the auto shut down (hibernate in my case) option in the PowerScheduler of MP and the TvServer (10 min.). However, the PC wakes up at the specified times, but always shuts down after 10 Minutes, unable to finish grabbing the available EPG data.

    Under general settings there are also some EPG grabbing options, e.g. "EPG grabbing while idle". The timeout says 10 minutes by default, but what timeout is this? Does the TvServer only grab the EPG after 10 minutes of idleness? Is this the reason why it always shuts down after 10 minutes (since the auto shut down is set to 10 minutes too)?

    Hi Spooky

    Have you checked the TVServer logs (tv.log and epg.log) what's going wrong?
