[QUOTE="HTPCSourcer, post: 1128700, member: 74879"] IMHO you don't need Away Mode by all means. Actually I never saw much value in this feature. The important thing to keep in mind is to have a clear view of how you want your HTPC managing energy saving. With older MePo versions going to sleep was actively controled by the in-built PS. Now PS [U]standard[/U] role - unless configured differently - is to keep the HTPC awake. Whenever MePo goes idle, the Windows energy management is kicking in. This is the reason why it is important to define the settings correctly. Using the remote to wake up the HTPC is fine, but your Harmony should be configured in a way that it is only waking it up - but never sends it to sleep. The latter should be handled by Windows only. The easiest way to realize this is to configure the remote to not send the Power press but a wake-up instead. This way the power button function can be preserved and will not be used by the remote. Now, this is just my view and others may see this completely differently. I am simply describing a setup, which is working fine for me. [/QUOTE]
