I have noticed since I installed my TV card that my HTPC seems to take longer coming out of sleep mode. Now I havent timed it with a stopwatch, but before I installed the TV Card the PC would wake up and displaying on the screen within about 3 seconds.
Now when I wake the PC it can take anywhere from about 5-20 seconds. Is this normal or should I be looking at power options somewhere ? (Maybe a PCI-Express power setting / wake up setting somewhere?)
I did notice somewhere in the TV Server configuration there was an option somewhere to change some power settings for the card?
I do NOT have the latest drivers installed, but the drivers that I used previously without any problems, and apart from this waking up problem, the card is working flawlessly.
Other reason for using old drivers - I did install the latest drivers, but I started having problems with receiving channels from the DVB-S connection. This problem was again related to waking up - the TV card would work fine from a cold/fresh boot, but as soon as the HTPC would sleep/wake up, then the DVB-S connection would stop working (would hang TV-Server & MediaPortal).
Any help/advice appreciated.
