Greetings Mythizens, In the interest o reducing my carbon footprint I'm<br>
looking into the auto-wake/shutdown features, but I need some<br>
clarification. From this site:<br>

which makes me think there is no UTC option and I must use rtc, further<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
If I understand it correctly using UTC or not is a decision that is<br>
mostly made depending on presence of other (Windows) operating systems<br>
dual-booting on the same hardware.<br>
Pro UTC: no hassle with DST etc<br>
Con UTC: hassle with dual boot<br>
<br>
You will be using the Real Time Clock chip with UTC or local time.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I do have dual boot, so I should opt for RTC? </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

in BIOS I can toggle between S1, S2, S3, and auto, no S4 which is what<br>
the terminal says I can wake from. Am I on the right track? Direction<br>
and/or pointers greatly appreciated.<br>

<br></div>
I'd try S5, aka normal shutdown to (so called) powered off state,<br>
instead. The only thing to verify would be if your tuners like<br>
soft-power off reboots. (usually they do, but I vaguely remember some<br>
buggy hardware that doesn't like soft reboots)</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't get the option for S5, just 1,2,3, or auto, and terminal output says I can wake from S4...more confusion </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

RTC time was identical to desktop display time in each case.<br>

check that<br>
* you can set what should happen after power loss (hint "on", not<br>
"off" and not "last state") as you may be regaining power after the<br>
alarm time has passed thus never waking up automatically.<br></blockquote><div>Did this </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
* your tuners support whichever power saving state you decide on (do<br>

* MythTV likes whatever state you decide on. hint: full shutdown is<br>
known to work well :-)<br></blockquote><div>Don't know how to do this either </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
