Make a new entry in Myprograms and choose the blank screensaver.

Use powerscheduler so that it goes into standby after xx mintues, and it will wake up again so to record. Put a password on it so that resume from standby requires a password. Or if you want to stop it being used after say 5pm just do a scheduled task to do suspend at that time.

Hardware cards dont, but doesnt software cards give you this choice?

Not following here... the remote will activate whatever program is in focus. And MP has an option to always keep MP in focus.
