first question is what is the favourable way to start up and shut down the 5000T.
I've tried putting in to standby when going to bed and just leaving it switched on all the time, if on standby i cant always tell if its in standby or not, without going to the box and looking at the red light, sometimes the light is blue even though it was last left on standby, i assume this is because its recording, if i then turn it on, would i be turning it off and messing up the recording.
when leaving on all the time I've noticed missing epg on mainly bbc channels, this could just be coincidence, when left on overnight its more likely to be left on sky news as generally thats the last thing i watch, don't know if this would matter.
(stupid question) if i use start up at ie 7am to switch on then off 30mins later, does it actually turn on the tv or just the box itself, im assuming the latter.
when rewinding live sky news the playback has subs, anyway of stopping this.
the OK button needs pushing much harder the all other buttons, should i ask for a replacement.
my 5000T is about 3 months old and generally its very good, a bit longwinded on button routines compared to the toppy i had for many years but it does what it states on the tin.
Netflix and iplayer apps work fine the others are useless but i have them on my tv so no big deal, my main use is to record stuff i will or might watch and not have to put up with adverts so apps arent my priority.
FVP5000T,software is UKTFAE 1.03.51,loader is UKTFAE 1.06, my internet is wired.
any advise would be great, im not great at putting issues into a written description so hope it was understandable.
thanks.
