A few questions/minor issues
I finally got around to setting up my capture card and I use Windows Media Center to watch TV cuz the Pinnacle program that comes with it is terrible and fails all the time. I got everything running pretty smoothly except a few things. One, how can I change the directory of where it saves recorded TV? The only options I saw were to change the drive itself or to add folders for it to search for media files. I can't physically make it store the records in, say MY VIDEOS... I'd rather have them in there than in the "Public" shared folder.. But it's no big deal; I'll live.
Another thing is putting it to sleep. I did a few experiments, setting a recorded scheduling and put the computer to sleep. If the schedule is like 10 or more minutes away (I think), it'll go to sleep and it'll turn on automatically like 5 minutes before the schedule, record, but won't go back to sleep! I waited like 20 or so minutes AFTER the scheduled recording was supposed to be done. ...And I just checked right now... and it didn't record anything, even though it woke up from sleep automatically 5 minutes before the scheduled recording.
If the scheduled recording is less than 10 minutes away, and I put it to sleep, it won't sleep. The monitor will show a black screen and the computer will just remain on. And if I move the mouse or press a key on the keyboard, it'll wake it up completely (which it shouldn't in the first place, since I have it set so that the mouse or keyboard can't wake up the computer in case I accidentally bump into it).
Can anyone help me out here, please? (The exact model of my capture card is listed in my system specs, just in case).
