[QUOTE="pipeme, post: 156875, member: 51561"] I got that set, but my main problem is not wanting to standby the HTPC while it's recording (whether it be a manual recording or half way through a scheduled one that started while I was already watching TV) a show. Also, I know power scheduler will wake the HTPC up for scheduled recording (I have this set, works good). I do not believe however that if you standby the HTPC once Power Scheduler has woken up the HTPC for a recording that Power Scheduler is smart enough to re-awaken the HTPC to resume recording. I know I can disable the Logitech remote from shutting down the HTPC, but then the PC will not go to standby as the last screen it will be on will be the LiveTV/My TV screen, and Power Scheduler needs to be at the home screen to standby the PC. And as I need this to be "wife" proof asking my wife to go to the MP home screen each time before she shuts the TV off is not what I want to do and she will most likely not want to do it or remember it either. I'd like the feature to do this; Say you are in the middle of a recording (whether it be a manually started one or one started from Power Scheduler) and you want to standby the HTPC as you are going to bed, you press the standby button but with this new feature MP now realises it's recording and does not standby the HTPC. Instead it flags the standby somewhere in MP, waits for the recording (or if you have scheduled back to back shows, recordings) to finish then standbys the HTPC once all recordings are complete regardless of what screen you are on in MP. How Power Scheduler standbys ONLY when it's at the home screen is good, and works perfectly for scheduled programs, but for the above it's not effective as MP will most likely be left at the MyTV screen. The feature would need to be a seperate option/plugin. I am guessing this is not available so I might post this in the requests section. [/QUOTE]
