[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1296601, member: 141969"] This is very strange, and I don't have an explanation for it. :confused: My guess is that your HTPC keeps waking because it is receiving a ping (or similar) from something connected to your network. This might be a device on your home network (another PC, or a printer, or ...), but it could be the device that you use to connect to the internet. These days, most internet devices are routers that act as gateways, and can provide multiple wired connections, and multiple wi-fi connections. They can also act as DHCP servers, which means that your PCs don't have fixed IP addresses. Instead, each PC asks the DHCP server for an IP address. But the DHCP server needs to know when the PC no longer needs that address, and so will ping the PC periodically to check if it is still powered up. One way to check if it is your internet device that is causing the repeated waking would be to disconnect the HTPC from your home network, or disconnect the internet device from your home network. Obviously, you need an internet connection to download the xml EPG, but you could disconnect the HTPC after that has been completed (provided that you do not want to stream video or audio from the internet). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
