   I've recently purchased hdr-1100s & contacted humax with my question but no response as yet.

   When my box is in standby (red light on front), the box is initially silent. About every 20 minutes I hear the hard disk start up. After 2 or 3 mins it shuts down again and is silent. This cycle continues. No recordings are scheduled so is there a logical explanation why the disk needs to.spin up every 20 mins? I think the fan comes on too.
   It's in a bedroom so at night the noise is disturbing. I've tried the 2 different standby modes but same result.

   My solution currently is to connect it to a timer so it stays shut down at night.

   Thanks

   Welcome to our Forum

   Are you per chance using the freesat app, if so this is the reason your unit boots so often - it is checking for any new timers you may have set via the app.

   Every five minutes or so it spins up and checks (I assume on the internet) what recordings you have set remotely.

   When you first start using the app to remote record it warns you that you need to make sure the program won't start for 30 mins. This is to give the box time to get the remote recording.

   Thanks for the reply. Never would have thought of that! That's why the first day I had it was silent as I hadn't used the app. Yes, I have installed the app and paired it to my box. Not really using it yet though!

   How can I reverse this behaviour? I would rather not have the app if it's forcing the box to spin up every 20 minutes!

   Currently got box switched off on timer overnight but obviously not the best solution.

   Thanks

   How to get rid...

   I factory reset the unit linked with app and then deleted the app, however not sure if just deleting the app will suffice.

   With my HB1000S I just unpaired the app and that stopped the spinning up. I can still use the app for listings, eyc
