Power &amp; Recorder Question So we had a bit of an issue with our hard drive and now it looks like we need to replace our system drive. I'm going to get an SSD for its improved speed and have seen boot times into Media Center at around 15-30 seconds. That's fast enough to warrant shutting down when not in use!

However, my problem is we use the DVR all the time and things record at random hours of the day. What can we power down to in order to allow WMC to record TV? I assume a full shutdown will not work, but what about hibernation or sleep? Are there any issues with these power settings?
