You can set a daily wake-up period too, if the mythwelcome settings, 
where it will just wake up without actually recording anything, during 
which time it can run mythfilldatabase.

By the way, if you haven't done so already, you should probably set your 
BIOS to wake the PC after a power cut, if you have that option, so that 
it will wake and set a wakeup time later. If you don't do that, if it 
was scheduled to wake during the power cut (but obviously couldn't) it 
won't automatically wake again and so it won't record future scheduled 
programs.

Cheers,

John
