Hello,
I'm considering buying above mentioned card. One question that I can't
seem to get a definitive answer for is the following: Can the card
boot the computer to perform a scheduled recording and then shut it
down once finished or does the computer have to be left on?
I know there are TV tuner cards out there, such as the Compro
Videomate *, that can do this but would prefer having this function
already integrated(less potential for conflicts, etc.) Thanks for any
feedback you may have.

this is really a function of software, not the hardware. currently
GuidePlus, which ships with AIW cards, does not have the ability to shut
down the computer after recording.

you can look for other recording software that does what you are looking
for.

Isn't the ability to standby if idle still part of Windows?
Certainly a few years back, when I had a P3B-F and Matrox G400 so all
standby functions worked, I always ran scandisk and defrags as overnight
jobs, with a setting of standby if idle after 15minutes so it was switched
off by morning.

Of course, now I have <up>graded to an Abit KX7 and a Radeon I have a
motherboard that can't turn off chassis fans on standby and a graphics card
that can't recover from standby so I suppose that's progress for you!
