Message: <blockquote data-quote="Paranoid Delusion" data-source="post: 223803" data-attributes="member: 13176">That is not going to work, believe me i tried, but i explain later in post how to get around.Auto recording settings using PVRS, this is set that if i have internet explorer running pc will not go into standby, you can add any running process you like, ie a converter (divx\xvid) for your recording may be active, so the last thing you want is your pc going off (this setting is optional, untick if not desired to have other programs running uninterrupted).[ATTACH]15669[/ATTACH]These are now the settings i use for recordings.[ATTACH]15670[/ATTACH]Maybe i forgot the limitations of the hauppauge remote, but it is crap compared to the mce.Setting into standby for me manually involves, shutting down MP with the close button and then use the standby button on remote\or using the PVRS plugin with MP running, or PVRS program without MP running.Reactivating from standby manually, mce remote handles that bit via usb (+5vsb enabled in bios\motherboard jumper setting, hopefully this is already enabled, usually at least on usb 0\1 ports).Then have <a href="https://www.team-mediaportal.com/files/Download/Plugins/Input/MPTray/" target="_blank">MPTray</a> installed, which the "Green windows start button" uses to start MP once fully reawakened.As far as MCE remotes go look <a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Windows-Media-Center-Centre-MCE-2005-Remote-Control-UK_W0QQitemZ140195759518QQihZ004QQcategoryZ51086QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_blank">here</a>, seems about the cheapest.This is the Philips RC6 remote and should work fine with xpsp2, and a good price.Beware some of the different looking MCE remotes will only work with Vista.Hope above has been some help, got a appointment with a Chelsea vs Spurs match shortly, come on you Blue's.</blockquote>
