[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1286052, member: 141969"] Thank you for reporting this :). I was curious about how many MUXes a DVB-C system has, and how long the EPG grab would take. Now I know. (y) If you finish watching live TV and press the POWER button on the remote control to "switch off" the HTPC, the HTPC will continue to run if it is overdue for an idle EPG grab and no recording is occurring. However, the HTPC should transition to away mode when you press the POWER button. Away mode stops video output to the TV. Personally, I don't like the HTPC continuing to run when I press the POWER button -- I want it to power off immediately (if it is not recording). This is why I have set up my HTPC to grab the EPG [b]once per day[/b] using the idle grabber at a time when the HTPC is not normally in use (at 06:00 for me). I would recommend that you do the same (set "Refresh every" to 1440 minutes or just under). I agree with [USER=19448]@framug[/USER] that Windows should not sleep or hibernate whilst the idle grabber is working, and this is how MP is behaving. I don't use "PowerScheduler" to trigger EPG grabbing, so my knowledge here may be imperfect :eek:. But my reading of the Wiki is that the settings shown on the "EPG" tab apply [b]only if "PowerScheduler" triggers the EPG grab[/b]. The Wiki says this: [INDENT][i]If no day is selected, EPG grabbing will not be started by PowerScheduler.[/i][/INDENT] Now EPG grabbing can occur even when not started by "PowerScheduler", but none of those "PowerScheduler" settings will apply in that case. At least, that is my interpretation. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
