[QUOTE="mr_minning, post: 194186, member: 10480"] I was after the same "VCR behaviour" that you request too when I set up my HTPC. I got it done using WebEPG to get the best possible interface for selecting which shows to record. Just click the show to record it, or select advanced to select to record on same channel every time the show is on. To get the HTPC to switch on and off I use PowerScheduler. I set it to switch on 1 min before recording,giving it plenty of time to "get ready", and switch off after 15min of inactivity. This got it working better than any VCR of mine ever did. The next step is to get comskip to work, so I don't have to "fastforward" during commercials. Is it more complicated than VCR/PVR/DVD: Yes! More expensive: You bet! Would I recommend the simple way: Never :-) [/QUOTE]
