Media Center Sleep Timer?
Does anybody know if there's a sleep timer for watching TV in Media Center like there is on a regular tv? I'm tired of falling asleep and then waking up to my TV being on at 3 in the morning.

The display is a Dell 20" widescreen LCD monitor. The remote I have connects to the TV tuner card in the PC. I have looked around the menus and haven't found a sleep timer in Media Center.The Fuzz53

I already have all that done. The computer will not go into hibernate or sleep mode if I am watching TV. Pressing the power button on the remote will put it to sleep so I was wondering if there was some kind of sleep timer for it, but it looks like there isn't.Jerry Hughes

Yes, but in order to hibernate or sleep, doesn't there have to be a period of inactivity? If the monitor is currently involved with "watching" tv, then that inactivity isn't realized---I guess. :-) Good luck,Jerry- I know this is an older post but I figured new Vista Media Center users are always looking for a sleep timer. Sleep Timer v2 is just that. It wasn't designed for Vista but it still works. The Green Button has it available for download at http://thegreenbutton.net/files/15/apps/entry112080.aspx You can also download it from the original author's site: http://jeffreygriffin.com/
