I bought myself a MCE remote from eBay to use with Zbox ND22. Now the question is, can I turn my Zbox power on using this remote? It uses ir reciever and connects to one of the usb-ports.
I tried setting this from device manager, power management... but the option "allow the device to wake the system" is greyed out.
I use Windows 7.

The best I was able to get out of mine is waking from suspend under win7 or live. I don't think the hardware can power on via usb when completely off.

Well, I don't own one (yet), so I was hoping that someone who do could enlighten me on this point. Being able to hibernate/wake it with a remote is pretty important to me considering that this is going to replace my current HTPC.
My USB-UIRT receiver should be able to wake a computer by a predefined IR code stored on the device. The question is more if the ND22 is able to wake from S4/S3 through the USB port.. I guess this requires the USB to be powered while hibernated/suspended.
There seems to be different threads on this topic, but I haven't found a definitive answer. Hoping it is possible though.
