My normal Sky box (NOT sky+) keeps turning off in the middle of the night. Not done it before about a week ago. This keeps mucking up my TiVO recordings - anyone any ideas?

One of the software drops introduced a "Automatic go to standby" option presumeably as part of some enviromental thing. Have a look in the system menus

Surpised you only just noticed this as it came out some time ago.

Can't tell you the exact key sequence as mine no longer has it available. As Sky have withdrawn at least the ltest update. The latest update caused the planners to lock up so they had to pull it.

Yeah - found the option in the menus. Don't watch much TV so had missed the fact that the box was turning off.

Problem is, that even though I turn the option off, it still seems to switch itself off...
