I guess I kind of avoided away mode as it is Vista and Win7 only and I am on XP. My TV and amp are turned off when I am not using them so I only want the PC to wake and record and then sleep again; I don't really care what is happening to the video and audio output. I see what you are saying though and I guess if you press the power button and the screen goes black it is better than pressing the power button and nothing happening (again I just let the machine timeout to standby anyway)
Eitherway I am in total agreement as with my other post that powerscheduler need a massive overhaul. Unfortunately MP1.1 is having a feature freeze and I doubt this will get anything done about it (you only need to look at the powerscheduler client code to see how messy it has become). MP2 will hopefully sort a lot of this out;
