[QUOTE="Hodor, post: 577410, member: 82280"] Away mode is need since its no longer possible to prevent a shutdown in Vista/Windows 7 (AFAIK you can still ignore/overwrite a sleep button signal in XP). I also have a Harmony remote, and it really only works seamless if it can send a power signal when ending/starting the activity that includes a HTPC. It simply don't have a conditional turned on/off state for devices. If the HTPC supports different signals for power on and power off it's possible to program the Harmony correctly (simply by letting MP control the power off and the harmony the power on). Lucky for me, we only have old crappy movies on the TV, so we almost never record anything. Else my wife would scrap the HTPC instantly it failed to finish recording one of her series. [/QUOTE]
