MCE pc wont standby automatically after watching live TV

[Combat squirrel]

Hi all,

I have set my MCE 2005 PC to auto standby after 1 min idle ( I do this because it wont automatically go back into standby mode after recording a tv series, and I have yet to find a fix for this)

It does do this after recording a tv show which is lucky.

However If I watch live tv and then just go back to the MCE menu, it just wont go into standby, there is the 'view box' in the bottom left which says 'stopped' {this is, 'the tv is stopped' screen}

If i close media centre with the remote (as in exit media centre and go back to desktop) then press the green button to load media centre menu again, it does again go into standby after 1 min.

Any ideas on how to fix this ? I would like it to automatically go into standby after 1 min no matter what (when idle). Im assuming it has something to do with the fact the stopped tv screen is in the bottom left corner, thanks for your time people,

-CS

ok found out this is a bug that cannot be fixed, however if anyone reads this just
one more quick thing........, at night when i press off on my mce remote (i.e. put it into standby) about 20/30mins later it powers itself back up again for no reason, nothing is Scheduled to record, it just boots up again and sits there and again doesnt go back into standby after 1 min, very strange, any ideas again ? sorry for all the questions! but your all knowledgable folks ! lol

yeah got mce 2005 version2, yes thought it might be the mouse, however i told the computer to ignore being woken up from mouse and keyboard, the only thing enabled to wake it is the mce remote receiver.....its all very difficult to make work properly :S
