I’ve never set either my HTPC or main PC to sleep at any time. I also have an unRAID server that does spin down the drives when not in use, but never sleeps. Several TVs in my home use media extenders connected to my main HTPC via a home network. I had to relent and give my wife her cable box back for the bedroom TV because she has zero patience for learning any new technology and WMC is not within her realm of tolerating. If she had to wait even longer for the main HTPC to wake up I’d probably find the media extenders run over in the driveway.
