    Sky+ Autostandby at 1:15 am

    Hi all,

    I've noted that when I turned my TV off, at 1:15 my sky plus box drops into standby mode. I was most impressed until last night, when I discovered that my sky plus asks if it can drop into standby mode at 1:15 every night regardsless of what I'm watching.

    Is this common on the lastest firmware, is the time always fixed ?
    It is Inevitable.....

    I've noticed this happening. Only started to happen a few weeks ago and I've had my box for just over a year. Must have been some update that they have done in the last couple of weeks.
