    Sorry if this is a dumb question but can MP turn on my pc to record a tv show and then shut down after?
    Like how pci tv cards can with there own software.

    thanks

    I use the build in power sheduler plugin to do that. I enabled Hibernation in Windows XP for that. Have a look at the energy settings in the display control panel. Then you start mp configuration program and go to the plugins section. Enable Power Scheduler and change the settings. Set the shutdown mode to Hibernate.

    I think datfreak has talked about if the MP hibernate the PC after a scheduled recording finished. (and wake up before record of course)

    That's what the power scheduler plugin and also the pvr scheduler do.

    which version do you have ? Normaly it's installed by default and you can enable and configure it in MP Configuration under Plugins.

    UPDATE:

    I've managed to solve it. Just downloaded the latest version. Cheers anyway.

    On the assumption you are using an OTA/Cable or Sat tuner then no internet connection is required for live TV recordings. BUT only if you already have Media Portal fully installed and functional. For all practical purposes you will need an internet connection to get Media Portal properly installed on a PC! Yes.

    Default Direct Sound Device was the problem. MPAR worked better than Dircect Sound, but is still a problem. Changed Audio Renderer to use the TV and it's working.

    Most (all?) small PC cases accept only ITX motherboards, which have only one PCI-E slot. So you could install only one PCI-E tuner card. A quad-tuner card would give you four tuners, but if you wanted more tuners you would need to use the TBS eight-tuner card, or use external tuners, either USB tuners (available with single or dual...

Also when I wake up the HTPC MP closes or crashes (not sure which) as per the example in...
