just built my HTPC with a ceton card and have a question. if the PC is in sleep mode when it is supposed to record something, will it wake up or do I need to keep it active?

It will wake a few minutes before the recording is scheduled to start.

But test it out on a programme first so you're sure it works in case you miss recording something you really want!

That shouldn't be a problem (WMC wakes up something like 10 minutes early), so if you run into issues with that, you may want to contact Ceton.
