Hi guys,
Just set up my parents with a media system running GBPVR. I wanted to set it up in a very similar way to my own media system with regard to power options; specifically, the system shuts down in the early hours of the morning, and wakes up at around 10 AM ready for the next day.
On my own system, I wrote a simple batch script for the shutdown and ran it using task scheduler. I then used the wake on alarm function in the BIOS to restore the machine.
Unfortunately, the BIOS of the board I'm using for this new machine does not have a wake on alarm function, so I was wondering if there were any alternatives - perhaps through GBPVR itself. Specifically, I was thinking about the wake for EPG reload function. If i changed the batch script to hibernate, rather than shut down, would this feature restart the system as normal and leave it ready to go?
Cheers for any thoughts,
FK
