It improved stability for me. I changed the settings in Eventghost and I planned a recording this night. We'll see if it will record I think it will. After that I will test more with this setup (without stopping tvservice).
Actually, this is what happens when I press the shutdown button.
Stop (live tv)
Go to homescreen
Close MP
Stop TVservice
Suspend
Worked really great.. But I didn't know that this prevents waking up
I suppose the need for killing TVservice is due to bad hardware/device drivers since most people don't need this. But I has always needed it, both on WinXP and now on Win7.

Have you tried "Reinitialize service on wake up" in PowerScheduler? This option used to have a bug that would cause other issues after resume, but has now been fixed in RC3.
Also note that if you want to use a button to suspend the system (instead of just leaving it to suspend on its own) you should map that button to MP's own "suspend" action, so that the suspend is still handled by PowerScheduler, otherwise you are guaranteed to have issues.
On a side note:
For me WinXP was a disaster. The system would occasionally hang on resume (not MP, the whole system). In fact when I used hibernation, if after a failed resume I removed the power from PC and tried to resume again, it would succeed. So this was entirely OS/drivers issue. In Win7 all this was gone, I can even use hybrid sleep, which is perfect as I don't have a UPS on my HTPC.
Is the MPs own suspend action the same as going to home screen and selection shut down->suspend? Because that is what I do but then nothing happens. So the only way for me is to set a time out of 2 minutes in Powerscheduler and let the system suspend that way.
