[QUOTE="joecrow, post: 1295058, member: 128337"] I set up a test recording last night, disconnected the LAN cable and put the HTPC in standby but the PC was still running this morning.:( Without doing anything else I woke up the TV and confirmed it was in away mode (no video signal) then pressed a key on the remote and video (MP home screen) was displayed, the recording had completed and running powercfg /requests showed "none" for everything, I then closed MP and set the "Put Computer to Sleep" in control panel power options to 2 minutes, 10 minutes later it was still awake. Putting the PC to sleep with the remote power button worked fine at this point, I then tried setting the "Turn off Display" to 1 minute just to see if the timer was working and sure enough the video was turned off after 1 minute AND 1 minute after that the PC went to sleep!:eek::confused: I again tried with "Turn off Display" set to never but it seems the "Put Computer to Sleep" timeout does not happen in this mode. Not sure if this is an error on my setup or an issue with windows. It would be very interesting to know if anyone could do a quick check, from desktop with nothing running just set "Turn off Display" to never and "Put Computer to Sleep" to 1 minute and wait and see what happens. I have set up a live test again with a recording but this time with the LAN connected and the "Turn off Display" set to 30 mins and the "Put Computer to Sleep" back at 45 minutes. I'll let you know.
