Update:

I've pretty much sorted power saving now. I've set it up to only wake on a magic packet which the Xbox sends no problem to wake the machine from sleep, and it wakes up a few minutes before recordings start, does the business and shuts down. If I want to RDP in from my Macbook Pro, I've got a little WOL utility that disturbs its slumber.

I've had a few DVB-T recordings fail but I think this is to do with the drivers. I'll have a new HDD in a fortnight so I'll do a complete rebuild, put the latest drivers on there and install the second stick which was only £16 from Amazon.

It takes longer to boot than V+ but it seems to be worth it. I'm finding loads more movies to watch using the Movies function in the MCE interface.
