[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1128679, member: 141969"] Are you using sleep (power state "S3") or hibernation (power state "S4")? If you are using sleep, make sure that you have enabled "away mode". When the HTPC wakes up to perform an unattended recording, it will wake up in away mode. (This applies to Win 7/8; Vista does not get this right, and incorrectly wakes up in normal mode.) In away mode, the HTPC will be running, but video and audio output is suppressed. When you use your Harmony, it should switch the HTPC from away mode to normal mode, and enable video and audio output. Away mode can be enabled in the power plan: Start > Control Panel > Power Options > ... ...Change plan settings > Change advanced power settings or in PowerScheduler settings in "TV Server Config". If you are using hibernation, when you used your Harmony it will have hibernated the system immediately. Away mode does not apply to hibernation, and PS cannot prevent the system hibernating (because you [i]explicitly[/i] commanded the system to hibernate). Modify the power plan to [i]disable[/i] the power button on the remote. You are probably not using hibernation, so I won't elaborate further. Ask if you want more details. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
