[QUOTE="gperkinson, post: 644845, member: 83961"] Hi TE3HPURP, Looks like since I raised this post the machine eventually went into sleep mode - my wife arrived home prior to me last night and mentioned it was in sleep mode, however there was a "disconnection from TV" issue when she fired up the machine - I think this might have been caused by a delay in the TV Tuner statrtup (that I set to 20 seconds) and no delay in starting up TV Service i.e. the card was not activated before Media Portal was started up - I simply set 20 seconds on that as well to give the machine enough time to startup properly. I also noticed the EPG had not updated properly for some reason?? Anyhow, I activated the "extensive log" files and set the client and TV Service Powerscheduler settings to 5 minutes as you suggested. I also set the EPG upday for 06:30 - the machine went to sleep OK and the EPG updated as normal this morning, so hopefully (fingers crossed) everything is OK. One question, if I want the machine NOT to go into sleep mode between 5:00pm and 11:00pm, how do I set the "Allow The Machine To Go Into Sleep Mode Between" options? The obvious is 23 to 17, but in prior versions anyway this didn't work - does this work in version 1.1.0?? The reason I ask is that possibly my machine did not sleep previously because I set it to the options above (I cannot remember when I changed it back to the default of 0 to 24 i.e. do not stop the machine going into standby) Luukske, I notice above that you are putting your machine into Hibernate.
