    One of my original disappointments with the 1000S was that it only allowed a power on/off toggle with the power button which could cause issues when using some macro based remote controls.
    The FOXSAT used to allow any of the number keys to be pressed too and it would turn the unit on if it was off thus allowing the remote to be able to assume the device was on. You would then just use the power on/off button to turn the device off.

    Today I accidentally pressed a number key on my Pronto remote whilst the HUMAX was turned off and I noticed it booted up.

    Did I miss this in one of the firmware updates? I can't remember seeing it in any of the notes.

    The zero button will boot it up if in standby, but do nothing if already powered up. Not sure when that crept in.

    It quietly arrived in an update back in April, very useful feature.
