[QUOTE="HTPCSourcer, post: 1140808, member: 74879"] Eric, MediaPortal functions along certain principles, on of which is that Live TV is equivalent of the HTPC [B][U]not[/U][/B] being idle. Because of this MediaPortal's powerscheduler will [B]never[/B] send the HTPC into standby while Live TV is on. Terminating MediaPortal via Alt-F4 kind of kills the Live TV process, which can sometimes lead to unpredictable results upon resume. MediaPortal's officail way of being stabdby'ed is either via the menu commands or through its inbuilt powerscheduler functionality. Both would not be compatible with your wish to bring it immediately back into Live TV. In essence, your habit to use Alt-F4 to close the MediaPortal window is prone to damage databases. Regarding stability: I can only speak for myself. Never, ever did I have a damaged database on my productive system. [/QUOTE]
