good thread.  I have showanalyzer set up with a directory watcher so all I do to have this run overnight is to set up a task to start the service at a specific time and then another task to stop it early in the morning before everyone wakes up.  That gives plenty of time for it to run through all of the days recordings and it makes the script really simple.

to start it:

net start ShowAnalyzerMaster

This is exactly what I do, but I use DTB to monitor the directory rather than ShowAnalyzer, because I have DVRMToolkit do other tasks (like move the files off the SSD to the NAS).   Basically, Task Scheduler just does the following:

@3AM: net start DTBService

@8AM: net stop DTBService

Seems to do the trick.
