[QUOTE="elconejito, post: 165495, member: 12592"] Hey Aaron, thanks for the reply. This is just my own 2 cents based on my use of MP. But a time based function wouldn't really work for me as sometimes I record shows at odd hours (not usually, but sometimes). Or I may be up late (or get up early) watching TV. My original thought was some sort of trigger like when you enter My TV, or when a recording starts. I've seen in the MP logs a bunch of events that startup whenever I turn on the TV, or when a scheduled recording starts. It could then turn off the STB whenever the TV engine is turned off, either because you're now listening to your music collection (or video collection) or you've turned off the TV, or the recording has ended. I don't have any idea how easy or difficult or even if its possible this would be. But I appreciate you looking into it for us. I suspect that we are rather in the minority on this one as it seems most people either aren't using STBs or they just don't use it the same way I do. For me, it would be a great convenience, but not really urgent. My STB has been on almost non-stop since January anyway! And neither it, nor my HTPC has exploded :) [/QUOTE]
