scargill   10 #1 Posted December 26, 2008 Hi  I have noticed over the last couple of weeks that our Sky Digi-box has started going into standby mode on its own, if left inactive for a while. We have had the box a couple of years and this has only just started happenning, anyone out there noticed the same, is this a Sky energy saving download onto the box? It is a real pain when leaving the DVD recorder in timer record mode, and finding that the programme has not recorded due to the Sky box swithching off.

alchresearch   215 #2 Posted December 26, 2008 Yep, happening to me too. I thought my housemate was turning it off.  My Sky box is just picking up the free channels though, no phone line connected and no subscription. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
dosxuk   10 #3 Posted December 26, 2008 Yes, it's an update to save energy. There's an option somewhere to turn the auto-standby off.  More info in this thread from a few weeks ago: http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=424210 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
