[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1190880, member: 141969"] There may be some confusion over terminology: SHUTDOWN -- Most people use this to mean that the PC is switched off completely, and you have to press the POWER button on the system unit to wake it and cause Windows to boot. Windows is not able to wake the system from this state to perform recordings. HIBERNATE -- The system is in an almost-off power state. The system must remain connected to the electric mains, but it consumes very little power (less than 1 watt). Windows can wake the system to perform recordings. On my system (I use hibernation), the wake-up sequence takes around 45 seconds. SLEEP -- The system remains powered on, but with the screen, disks, and fans switched off. Power consumption depends on the specifics of your PC, but could be up to 10 watts. Windows can wake the system to perform recordings. On my system, the wake-up sequence takes around 3 seconds. The simplest to use is sleep, and PowerScheduler can be set up to use this. Hibernation is trickier to get working in a useable fashion (so I would not recommend it for a beginner). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
