[QUOTE="Pat Clark, post: 940688, member: 123421"] Maybe I'm dense and just don't get why there is even an option. New at using remotes, and never used a separate server, but it seems to me there is never a need for the software to "automatically" turn the TV on or off. (Except for a reminder as I mentioned.) If the TV is currently off, how could the PC possibly know there is somebody there who wants it on, if the user didn't do something? If the TV is on, how could the PC know he is now asleep :) and wants it turned off if the user didn't do something? (Similarly, I don't understand the "TV On" button on the GUI. If you can see and press the button, isn't the TV on? If the TV is on, and you want it off, wouldn't you use the remote?)[DOUBLEPOST=1354992221][/DOUBLEPOST] AudioSystem works exactly the same -- no volume control. Vol up/down only operates the TV's speakers. Even if TV speakers are disabled, the TV's volume display works but has no effect. No CEC options -- enabling it and discovering other devices just shows "MediaPortal" as the name. [/QUOTE]
