dhruba.bandopadhyay Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I like to record TV shows/dramas (eg. Lost, Invasion) using my digital terrestrial box connected to my laptop. It contains a schedule timer to start recording at specified times (9pm, etc.). However, sometimes I have to leave my PC switched on in the morning (at 8am) before I go to work... when I don't make it home in time after work.. or I may go out after work, etc.Is there any way to make a PC/laptop switch itself on at a specific time, so that the windows scheduler can perform it's tasks?

oioldman Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 most have a wake up on modem or equivalent feature in BIOS.I know MODEM is one so can receive faxes, so maybe a call to the house will be enough to wake it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Wake and Power-On are different... Wake is to wake up from Sleep mode, Power On is a cold boot. It seems most BIOSs have this feature, as I discovered when attempting to figure out why random computers at the school I worked at were turning themselves on as if they were haunted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
