Hauppauge WinTV Nova T 500 Standby help! (1 Viewer)

[Jimbawb]

Ah ha. I see what you are saying now. So in effect if I want to switch on/off normally i should use shutdown (guaranteed for the tv card to come back on). But if I want to record something at night, as long as no one switches the box on between me putting it into standby with PRVS and itself waking up then it should be fine?

I performed a successful record earlier using PVRS Which is good news! Also..im not really sure how but it seems to be working now? As long as i choose standby through PVRS and then switch it back on the front of the case it seems to work fine (at the moment..ive probably jinxed it now ).

Cheers for your help PD, very much appreciated. I've also since learnt that my housemate has a possible spare MCE remote in his room(!) so maybe i could avoid all this stress and just use that...but i think that might have to be for another day

(Just to check, using the MCE remote can you switch the htpc on and off as if it didnt look like it was windows..this is my ultimate aim..!). Enjoy the game!

Glad to here recording works fine.

A thought that came to me whilst watching Chelsea win (YES!!), i think most of the problems with this card come down to the VIA usb controller, just wondering if it is possible to bypass in some way, as a lot of usb devices have no problems, i will look into any possibilities of changing controller (just need some help from the right Dev).

As far as customisation goes these are the bits that certain people have done.

This is not up to date, lots more by searching forum.
