Hi,
Timer are normal timer you normally program out of the EPG for one film or episode.

AutoTimer searches through the EPG on a regular basis to find programs you like to see/record. Let´s say you like "star trek" then you can enter it there and every film or episode with "star trek" in the title will be recorded. AT can do a lot more with its settings.

PowerTimer are a new a special kind of timer. You are partly right the deep sleep and standby PowerTimer can be simulated with a normal zap timer but it is a bit more complicated. What you cannot do with the other timer are auto standby and auto deep standby. Auto standby switch to standby when you are doing nothing for a certain amount of minutes.
