My computer is On-Now capable, because I have another application running, another VCR program, that does wake the computer at the correct time, to start recording. However that commercial program contains too many bugs, and crashes on a regular basis, that is why I am writing my own replacement. According to examples on the internet, what I have written should work. But I will look into it some more. Wiljo.
