When I had my htpc record a movie overnight, the htpc would hang and would still be powered on the next day.
When I tried to make a recording at daytime, all went fine.
The solution to my problem was that at night my tv was powered off. Linux wouldn't boot correctly because it couldn't determine the right resolution for my screen. After I saved the EDID-information of my tv to the local hard drive, Linux could boot without the tv turned on.
Now recording at night works fine.
I hope this information is helpful to you.
