This is incredible what is being said here tonight. It's not really happening. Am I to assume that there's no Freesat Box to be found out there that doesn't go into some European Regulations induced idiotic sleep mode in order to save us humans from ourselves?
If Humax have a "system" built into their machines that sends it to sleep during us watching something, then equally Europe should compell it to declare this on the packaging, or Curry's to publish this nonsense.
If mine continues to do this it's going back for a full refund.
This is total madness!
BTW, I always switched my Sky box off at the socket every night, until the next evening, so there was no extra wastage here!
The regulations date pre 2008 when the sby power was quouted at 0.75Watts or less, subsequently reduced to 0.5W.
How hard is this to understand.
[b] YOUR CURRENT PROBLEMS ARE NOT IN ANY WAY RELATED.
This has been the situation for many years. Do you really think we would all have been using Humax Freesat+ and Freeview+ pvrs for years if this was an issue.
Had you had a Foxsat-hdr and turned it off overnight it wouldn't have worked for very long (It wakes up briefly to do essential updates in the early hours).
The Freeview+ modern pvrs continue to work with no issues with the required standby power limits.
If there is any problem here it's not down to the packaging, all pvrs have to conform, if they do not they cannot be sold in the EU.
I am sure if you look closely you will find a label confirming thst the kit confirms to the legal requirements for sale in the EU.
The problem relates to a problem with the current software release for HDR1000/1010S boxes.
What is madness is expecting to have a detailed report on all the relevant regulations for approval to sell any sort of electrical kit in the UK. You would need a rather large document.
Picking on one that you incorrectly assume is the source of your issues is the madness here. Do you have any sort of expertise in this field, from your post it appears not ?
This is an early document that eventually brought about the actual legislation.
