[QUOTE="robbo100, post: 665293, member: 91446"] To the best of my knowledge (99.9% sure), there is no setting that will hibernate the system based upon the criteria of "a program recording is complete". The reason for this is because if are watching TV and recording something at the same time (which is a very common activity for MediaPortal users), then the system might hibernate whilst you are watching TV - which would be very annoying indeed. Because of this, the powerscheduler is based purely upon system inactivity with a confirmation timer. Clearly you can set this timer to 1 minute, so that it hibernates very shortly after the system becomes inactive (I don't think you can set it lower than 1 minute though). As I said before, you can configure the system to prohibit the hibernation if a certain process is active. I personally have iexplore.exe set as one of these processes and if I am working on the PC and don't want it to hibernate, then I just leave iexplore.exe running in the background.
