Will a suspended computer come on for scheduled recording?

[WeatherB]

Hi Guys,
I'm looking at changing from MCE to BTV and was wondering whether BTV has the same standby and wakeup functionality as MCE.

I did a search and there some posts from last year saying that the computer cannot go into standby until BTV is closed from the tray. Is this still a probolem with the newest verison?

Also, if a computer is in S3 Suspend-to-Ram and a program is scheduled to record, will the PC wakeup and record the show then go back to sleep?

tnx

To answer my own question... I tested it and yes, it does work

Now as a follow-up, does it come out of Suspend periodically to look for Remote Recordings? Or are any sent during a suspend ignored?

1. - I am glad it does not. The computer would have to go back online - Modem dialup noise.

2. The recordings are not ignored . They will be picked up when the computer goes online and checks for web recordings .


It would make more noise at night while the computer is hibernateing . I have got my pc a little quieter though . A stock cpu cooler is lot quieter than a Hefty turbo cpu cooler . My cpu fan died. Replacement was lots quieter .

We do not need all questions in one post .

I am sorry for post hijacking .

Modem? What's that? Oh, you mean the thing where the cable internet connection comes in? ;->

That wouldn't work for me. My wife and I frequently schedule remote recordings that need to record that day . . . possibly before we get home.

For some motherboards, the bios allows you to have the computer start at some specific time, that would be a work around...
