I have a Plextor TV tuner (works with EyeTV software) with hardware encoding. There is an option to record while asleep, which actually seems to work. I've only tried it for a minute, but that minute worked. How much processor power does it take when I'm using a device that does its own encoding? I don't want to burn my screen, which I know I can: Last week, something went wrong with my computer and it stayed on all night with the lid closed. There are now two burns on my screen.
Would this cause that, too? Why would they include the feature if it did?

Whoops. I guess it doesn't work, after all. It goes back to sleep, even when the monitor is open, as I have a password protected sleep mode.
How would I get around this, other than taking the password away? That's not an option.

Well, I don't know much about TV tuner software, but it is good if you just hold down your brightness until it gets to it's lowest setting but after hours and hours it still starts to burn; the best solution: start recording, open iTunes and put the settings to repeat all and start playing any thing, turn on the visulizer (that is always moving so it's all good), and turn of your sound. That way your the safest, that is what I do to protect my display when I turn the screen saver off so I can download really big bittorrent files over many hours without having to worry.

Why not set your monitor to sleep, but not the computer?
