[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1246806, member: 141969"] There are two other options: (1) Exit MP to the Windows Desktop before you sleep/hibernate your system. This is how I have always used MP. Your remote control probably already has a START button (to start MP from the Desktop), and you can define an unused button to perform the CLOSE function. (2) Buy a TV that maintains the HDMI/HDCP connection when in standby. My previous Toshiba TV broke the HDMI/HDCP connection when in standby, with the result that WMC lost my customised screen size whenever it woke to perform an unattended recording. My current Sony maintains the HDMI/HDCP connection when in standby, with the result that Windows thinks it remains connected at all times. (And the Sony consumes less than 1 watt when in standby.) Of these two, the cheapest solution is (1), but that may be difficult to implement if there are other members of the household who are difficult to train (i.e. the distaff side of the household, or little ones). Solution (2) is considerably more expensive, but if you are thinking of buying a new TV anyway... Of course, the right solution is for this problem to be fixed, but that depends on a developer who understands this area of MP having time to address the issue. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
