FAO OF ANYONE WITH SKY TELEVISION.
When you turn your television off at night, do you turn yours off on the plug on the wall or only bu your remote please?

By remote.

[ToraToraTora]

by remote or you'll miss your series linked recordings

Thank you sherrardk, thats what I did last night, but this morning my television had gone into "stand by" and I wondered if it was because I hadnt turned it off at the wall.

Television by the plug, sky box by remote.

Thank you tora tora. I havent got any series linked recordings at the moment because Ive just got a new sky box .x

[Georgiesmum]

Do you know what would have made it go on "stand by?" please?

[Georgiesmum]

I couldnt get any picture at all first thing, then it suddenly seemed to spring into action!

[ToraToraTora]

GM, it goes on standby on it's own after 2 hours if there has been no activity. If you are around you will see a warning come up, saying do something or it'll go on stand by. In standby all your series links are honoured. You can change the 2 hours in the settings. I generally put both on standby.

GM when it wakes up it can take a couple of minutes, it has to link up to wifi etc.

Funnily enough, ours was whirring loudly with the orange light and I had to reset it.

It goes into standby mode overnight which is annoying as it means the miniboxes don’t work. I don’t know if there is a workaround?

How does temporarily switching yourbox off though interfere with your recordings providing it’s not off while there’s a recording due?

[ToraToraTora]

it doesn't ich but you have to remember to switch it on manually, which kind of defeats the object.

Thanks everyone x
