Then turn the computer back on. If you are using Media Center to record television programs, put the PC into standby mode (instead of turning it off or using hibernation) so that the PC can "wake" at the proper time to record TV programs. If both standby and hibernation timers are set, the system hibernates timer must be set for a longer time than the system standby timer. If Live TV or other media is playing in Media Center, the PC won't go into Standby mode automatically. 42 hp media center pc user's guide
