[QUOTE="scott_mckenzie, post: 1002886, member: 122101"] Hi, I have spent some time with Avermedia on a Skype conversation and I have a solution/workaround that works for me. Basically I have moved from using 'Sleep' over to 'Hibernate'. Here's what I settings under 'Power Options' in Control Panel to get Hibernate working: Turn off the display: 10 minutes Put the computer to sleep: Never ----and under "Change advanced power settings" Sleep: Sleep after: Never Allow hybrid sleep: Off Hibernate after: 15 minutes Allow wake timers: enable The above is part of a longer thread located here - In addition to this to allow my remote to invoke Hibernate rather than Sleep, I did changed the following Setting: -in Control Panel - Power options, if you go into 'Advanced Power Settings' then under 'power buttons and lid', change the 'Sleep button action' to 'Hibernate'. I hope this helps others, I'm confident this isn't just an Avermedia related issue. I have a feeling that it has something to do with the way Sleep works in general with PCI slots with certain motherboards (i reckon why you only see complaints purely about TV Cards is because its mainly HTPC users that use the sleep function) and potentially there could be some BIOS settings that may allow for Sleep to have no issues with TV cards.
