HD-PVR & Computer Standby

[hum099]

I have an issue when the computer is in standby. I'm using Sagetv and I set a show to record and it automatically starts up the computer 2 minutes before the set recording time. The unit changes the channel on the satelite and begins recording. When it is finished it returns the computer to standby. However when I play back the recording it is a completly blank screen. The file size is correct. It is like the 1212 does not send out the actual picture. I tried setting a recording again.....and when it started up I turned the TV on and it was a completly black screen. No video coming through but it is recording something. I have the USB port set to not power down. I have the Asus P5Q-EM board connected via HDMI to the tv.....component from satelite to the 1212. Does anyone else have this problem. Better yet a solution. Thanks.

Try waking your computer sooner (say 5-10 minutes before hand). It sounds like the HD-PVR hasn't been completely started by the time your recording begins. I have noticed that after a restart of my server, it takes a while before my server sees the HDPVR as a viable recording device. Power cycling the HDPVR reduces that time frame, but obviously this isn't an option for you.

Thanks.....I will give it a try tonight.
