[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1261102, member: 141969"] I changed my Windows 7 test system from "Expert" mode to "Plug and Play" mode, and then looked at the settings in the Windows power plan. The sleep timeout was set to "never". :eek: On returning to "PowerScheduler" in "TV Server Config", I noticed that the first tab has a setting called "Put the computer to sleep after", and in my case it was set to zero (meaning "never"). I changed that to a sensible value, closed "TV Server Config" and looked at the power plan again. The sleep timeout had been changed to the value that I had set. (y) I don't know where the value of zero originated. Possibly it occurred because I had previously been using hibernation and/or expert mode. Check your value for the sleep timeout, and set it to something reasonable -- 10 to 15 minutes, perhaps. To check if wake now works, schedule a short recording for the near future, and then manually sleep the system. Observe the system to see if it wakes, records, and then sleeps again (without interfering with the system). Note: from wake, the system will run for at least the duration of the sleep timeout. If the sleep timeout is (say) 30 minutes, and the pre-record wake interval is (say) 5 minutes, and the recording is (say) 15 minutes, the system will/should sleep 10 minutes after the recording has finished (10=30-5-15), i.e. it won't necessarily sleep immediately the recording finishes (it depends on the length of the recording). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
