I notice that in power saving standby the HDD is still spinning. In fact I can still access and play SD recordings on my PC via my network with the FVP5000 in low power standby. I had assumed that in low power standby the box would only be running a timer. Can anyone clarify this for me?

Network server and file share enabled?

Yes. I just checked the manual and it is working as it should do! I wonder what the power consumption is in this mode? I suspect it is more than the 0.5 watt low power standby should be using.

With Network server etc enabled, to all intents and purposes the unit is on, albeit with video/audio output disabled - pretty obvious I would have thought
The 0.5 figure is obtained with unit in 'Full' standby

I had assumed that the network server etc would only be functional when the unit was on. Now I understand why the network server has its own timer!

Now I understand why the network server has its own timer!I have server timed so I can access recordings between 5000T and 4000T's dotted about the place, not that I watch a lot of TV as the quality of programme(s) nowadays is dire imho.
If it was not for helping Humax and this Forum I would give serious consideration to getting rid of TV's etc, and therefore save some pennies on the licence fee

I've paid my last licence fee as it will be free for me later this year. Unless Mrs May or her successor cut back on pensioners benefits!
