[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1255996, member: 141969"] The POWER button on the remote is intended to put the HTPC into a low-power state where it can perform TV recordings if any have been scheduled. For this to be possible, "Away Mode" must be enabled. Confusingly, Windows refers to the POWER button on the remote as the SLEEP button. So, in the Windows power plan, the setting that you want to change is the setting for the SLEEP button: (1) If you set the SLEEP button to "sleep", when you press the button, the HTPC will transition to away mode if recordings are active, and then transition to sleep state when the recordings finish. In this state, the HTPC can wake to perform unattended recordings. (2) If you set the SLEEP button to "hibernate", when you press the button, the HTPC will immediately stop any active recordings, and transition to hibernate state. In this state, the HTPC can wake to perform unattended recordings. (3) If you set the SLEEP button to "power off", when you press the button, the HTPC will immediately stop any active recordings, and transition to power-off state. In this state, the HTPC [b]cannot[/b] wake to perform unattended recordings. The purpose of away mode is to allow recordings to continue to completion when you "power off" the system. The video output is switched off, and (possibly) the USB sockets are powered down, but the fans continue to spin, the disks continue to spin, and the CPU operates at full power (as necessary). When the recording finishes, the fans are powered off, the disks are powered down, and the CPU enters a low-power state. If you really don't want away mode enabled (e.g. because you don't have any TV tuners in your HTPC), you can disable away mode in the Windows power plan. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
