Another option is to use PVR Scheduler - it gives you the ability (from within MediaPortal) to select the exact start and stop times that you wish for any scheduled recording (the way that MediaPortal used to be?).
Plus, you get the benefits of waking your PC and then hibernating, suspending or shutting the PC down after the recording.
Plus, it will schedule your EPG grabber.
Plus, it will launch and kill MediaPortal if you have problems with your BDA drivers after a resume from hibernate or standby.
But, at the moment, it doesn't correctly handle repeat (same time each week, etc) recordings of the same program - slight bug, I think....
