Thanks to BWX232 for the headsup.
Now hear this, an All-in-Wonder kinda TV card that can boot up and shut down your PC to do it's recordings. Impossible ? No way, Compro recently released a PCTV card called the VideMate TV Gold+ It's a swiss knife among it's genre. The VideoMate TV Gold+ is not just a TV card though, no it handles Stereo TV and Radio, acts as programmable video recorder, records media files through an external source and hey .. it'll will even boot up your PC when you program the software to record a TV show. Here's a clip from the review:
As stated on the previous page Compro did something very clever with this product that sets them aside from the competition, “Power Up Scheduling” is one of the more interesting features of the VideoMate TV Gold Plus. Basically the ComproPVR software will wake your PC from either Windows Shut Down (ACPI S5) or Stand by (ACPI S3) modes and record the shows you programmed. It doesn't end there though ...
You can find the entire review and a few recordings at here:
