[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1152192, member: 141969"] I had this problem with my previous TV connected directly to my HTPC via HDMI. If the HTPC woke up to perform an unattended recording (TV switched off), Windows or the graphics driver used a default resolution that differed from the one that I had chosen. This then sometimes persisted to the next manual wake. One factor that I noticed is that the TV broke the HDCP connection when is was put into standby (confirmed by the fact that the display device disappeared from the Windows device table). There was also a "bing bong" when the TV was put into standby with the HTPC still running, and a "bong bing" when the TV was switched on with the HTPC running. Interestingly, my new TV does not do this: there are no bing bongs, and the display device remains present in the Windows device table, even when the TV is in standby. My conclusion is that the TV maintains the HDCP connection at all times. I cannot tell if this solves the resolution problem, since I am using the native resolution. Quite by accident I did find a soluton to the problem that I had with my previous TV. I use an Nvidia graphics adapter, and that has various options with regard to where video processing is performed. By enabling "allow the graphics adpater to scale the image", the problem was solved; the HTPC no longer lost the screen resolution that I had set. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
