+1 for hibernation. Resume is slightly slower, but you're totally covered in the event of power failure. Waking for recordings or wake-on-lan for backups works fine. I've tried S3 and even S3+S4 hybrid sleep, but had occasional problems,...

Just to make a small comment, I downloaded the Plex client to my Samsung SmartTV last night. All installed ok, and the interface is the 'usual', but although it seems to do movies very well (from my local PMS), there's no photo or music...

I think one of the problems (other than Windows 8 being cr*p), is that unless you got the 'free' MC offer before the end of Jan, you know have to pay extra for 8MC which we got as standard in Win7 Home Premium or above. This little...

I noticed last night that my 7MC box has flagged certain older recordings for deletion. I've never seen this before, so am confused. All the recordings it's flagged are almost exactly 3 years old from what I can tell, and are probably...
