    HDR1100S
    There is nothing in the manuals about the meaning of the coloured light under the box. Mine shines red, purple, blue.

    The light goes red when the TV is switched off, does that mean the box is off? Without actually switching it off?

    Theres absolutely nothing in the manuals on this.

    Welcome to our Forum

    Red - unit is in standby
    Blue - unit is on
    Purple - unit is recording

    HDMI CEC is probably the reason that when you switch TV off Unit also switches off.

    See this FAQ for naming conventions of HDMI CEC by TV manufacturer.

    Yes Barry thats what I thought it should be but since the last upgrade I only get RED and BLUE.
    Red is now Standby and when recording and Blue when watching. No Purple except when part of the booting up process. Strange!

    Well I never spotted that to be honest, due to the position of LED.

    Thanks.
