[QUOTE="Jay_UK, post: 670518, member: 98509"] Hello mate, That processor should be ok. All the TVServer is doing is saving the channel stream(s) to disk - this does not take a tremendous amount of grunt, and having a DB for the channels. Like has been stated I would put an extra GB of RAM in there at least. What about Timeshifting though? Will it be hosting the DBs for anything else? As to hibernation, its down to how you configure it. It can keep the server on, or turn it off if not watching TV, or TV it off if you aren't using it at all (eg not watching movies or music), etc... Hibernation does not use any power when hibernated (in theory) as it saves the data to disk. Suspend/Sleep/S3 is the way to go... this keeps the RAM alive, but reduces the power to everything else. Then its a matter of a few seconds to wake. I have my client configured to WOL the server when it starts, such that in theory by the time I watch TV/movies/music/etc the server is alive. I have the server configured to detect Network usage and only allow hibernation on homescreen from the client. I would suggest you check out Mr Hipps new patch for TV Server suspend, or the new PowerScheduler++ plugin. J. [/QUOTE]
