Does my computer need to be on to record shows?

I just got my Sage Tv yesterday, so can you tell me if my computer needs to be on in to record a show? Thanks!

Sage can resume from Standby (S3) or Hibernation to record a show. So you can set up your computer's power policy to enter standby or hibernate after certain amount of idle time. Sage will then wake itself up and record your show.

If I had a MVP and I turned it on would that wake up the server ?

There are a couple of threads about power management that address this exact issue. The short answer, however, is yes. If properly set up, your MVP (or other extender) can wake a server.

Can I watch a show that I previously recorded, as I record another show?

Yep.
