<div dir="ltr">So I have couple of G1610 based font ends. I had been running arch linux on them as front ends for my mythtv backend. Do you guys have any power savings tips ?<div>I had installed windows 8.1 on my spare ssd and power saving ability seem amazing compared to linux. I am running xbmc on it and my frontend goes to deep sleep/hybernation when not used. On the same hardware linux will turnoff screen spindown hard drive but it seems windows does it so much better. When I suspend my frontend running xbmc on linux and then resume it i can play movies, tv shows and recorded tv but not live tv I have to restart xbmc in order to get live tv working again.For some reason mythtv backend and xbmc can't talk to eachother after resume. Windows 8.1 and xbmc dont have such problem. </div>
