[QUOTE="NickName, post: 142716, member: 21675"] Hmm... I don't use the TV server (yet) as I can't get it stable enough for my wife and kids :-( I try the TV server every few weeks but no joy yet but that's fine, it's Beta and MP TV Engine v2 is great anyway :-) There is a delay in turning the TV off but my script doesn't do that. It depends on the hardware being used, how many channels are being recorded, Timeshifting = ON, etc. My script simply checks if it is at the Home screen and if it isn't, it presses "Escape" every 1 & half seconds until it is back at the Home screen. It does this for up to 2 minutes at which point it gives up as something must be wrong. Once it detects the Home Screen, it presses 'B' to turn off Timeshifting. As far as going into standby too soon, why not create a PC_Suspend Event like I mentioned, that way the TV is turned off when the PC is in the process of being suspended. That avoids any delays by using 'pauses'. It happens when it is ready, not before and not after. Good luck, Nick Name. [/QUOTE]
