Of course no programs are running Standby mode. That is why I am using 
waitable timers in the first place. They are supposed to return the 
computer to the active state at the specified time. That is what 
waitable timers are all about. It just doesn't work in my case.

Well that is simply not true. Other applications, another PVR that I am 
still using, does wake the computer at the right time to start a 
recording. No user input needed to do that!
