record and/or my
screen was blank

out of standby.

Center is open. (You manually put the PC into standby by pressing the
power icon or moon icon on the remote control or by pressing the moon
icon on the keyboard, or by clicking

Close Media Center before putting the PC into manual standby. This will
avoid missed TV recordings and a potential blank screen when coming
out of standby.
