Thanks for your response, Bob..... No standby or hibernate happening here. My
MCE box is on 24/7 and the only power savings settings are for the connected
monitor to go black after 20 minutes; Never shut down HD's, Never system
standby, Never system hibernate.

I have had this box (a Dell Dimension 8400 with the includedATI eHomeWonder)
for about 2 weeks, and have experienced the "There was a problem with the TV
tuner...program was not recorded" type error maybe 8-10 times. I'm wondering
if the two symptoms are related?

Thanks again, and I look forward to your response.
