Media Center TV recording problem
I tried recording a couple of shows while I wasn't home. Only 2 minutes of each show was recorded. I left my computer running and I made sure I had plenty of room on my hard drive. The only thing I can think happened was that my computer went into sleep mode and interfered with the recording of the shows. Is this a common issue and how can I fix it?

Confirm you PC did indeed go into sleep mode...if that's what happened then turn sleep mode off when you have something you want to record.
I checked the event viewer. There were several warnings listed:
1. Recording began late due to temporary failure caused by system malfunction or power loss.
2. Recording began as scheduled and stopped early because of a conflicting recording.
3. Program was not recorded because of a tuner failure
How can I check if any of these were caused by my pc going into sleep mode?
