Personally I don't see any real reason to ever shut down/wakeup
feature. Maybe that's useful for guys running VDR on laptops or old
pc's that consume a lot of power(?). I only use VDR in my living room
as my main tv/media source, and on a test box for messing around with
but that's it. I don't actually watch tv on a computer monitor.
Well, i can wait the 8 seconds (well with Bios maybe 15 sec) the machine
needs to boot.
I don't know what you consider a lot of power (here 60-100W depending on
apps running - anyway it doesn't matter where you put the bar),
but what you say sounds like i don't care about environment/ other
people, which is provocative and sounds ignorant for
some people at the place where i live.
There are 8-10 hours where i sleep and another 8-10 hours where i am at
work,
which is at least 16 hours of 3W power consumption -
i don't need the VDR running at that time, as long as my recordings are
taken care off. If i should need it from external, i can wake it up by WOL.
Think about it !
Anyway lets keep any further discussion about that off-list.
Kind Regards
Steffen
