I was happy for quite some time leaving my system on 24/7 because the Mythtv backend is [i]super[/i] stable but it kept coming back to my power bill. My wife is already used to waiting for a short period before she can watch TV because my frontend system currently also shuts down completely. My old frontend would suspend but three times I had to RMA the motherboard because it wouldn’t wake up. When I switched to this new frontend the suspend function didn’t work right and I haven’t put in enough time to figure out the problem yet. Soon though. But for now it’s a good thing because it’s ok if the TV isn’t instantly ready. She’s used to it. 🙂
