Exactly! The timer is going to be 24 hours a day consuming power to save, what, 8 hours of the Touch consuming a couple of watts? Then, each time the Touch turns on it's going to have to blast through the hard disk doing its rescan which is going to consume more power with the HDD spinning and seeking for however long, when it could otherwise have been sat in its idle, powersave state. -- paulster Receiver stuck at blue LED state after reboot?
