I have a MVP in the living room connected to a my GBPVR computer in the basement. I'm trying to configure the system so that I can save as much energy as possible without jumping through too many hoops like running to the basement to power on the computer. Currently, I have the computer automatically shut itself off at 11PM via software and automatically turn on at 6AM (via BIOS) since I don't recording late night TV programs. TV listings are updated during the daytime. The hard drives are also powered off when the computer is not busy. Is there anything else I can do? I presume that if I turned on suspend or hibernate, the MVP would not be able to wake the computer up. Any suggestions? Thanks!
