I'd recommend win7 media centre or mediaportal. Win7 Media centre being the easier of the two to setup, however it has less features.




HTPC - Intel i3-2100 / 12GB / 13TB Storage / HD4670 / HVR2200 / Win 7 x64 + MediaPortal 1.3 Final
PC - Intel e8600 / 8GB / HD5830 / Win7 x64

Have never tried series record but  I can set a program to record then I turn it off with the remote,  The htpc wakes up records the program and then goes back to sleep afterwards
