My FVP4000t has suddenly decided it won't switch on with either the remote or the box. Have to unplug from the mains each time. Very irritating but even more so if a recording is taking place. Anyone else experiencing this & and suggested fix please?

If you wait till the recording should have finished hopefully the recording should have finished. Does the led continue to show the recording in progress ? How many times did you press the power button ?
Does it happen every time you boot the box and then put it back in sby ?
Other than that a reset to factory defaults is the first thing to try. Photograph your recording schedule as a reset will delete the schedule.

After this does the remote boot the box OK. Then when you put it in sby using the remote does it fail to boot the next time ?If you don't try and wake the box while it's recording does the box go back to sby after making a recording ?

I'm not sure if we're talking at cross purposes but the box won't turn on without turning it on & off at the mains.
I don't know what you mean about the power cycle. The box is recording & is in sby after recording but still will not switch on either by using the remote or the on/off switch on the box itself. The only way the box will switch on is by turning off mains power & then plugging it back in. It can then be used normally even switching it on and off. However, when come back to it the next day have to go through the unplugging rigmarole again.| Wed 15 Nov 2017 18:44:25 #5 | -

Can you try setting a power on timer as follows
System - settings - power timer - power on timer
Time 07:00
Channel BBC ONE HD
Volume 10
Repeat DailyPower Off Timer 07:15
Let us know if the box then boots OK tomorrow.

It switched itself on without doing anything but I've just tried switching on with the remote and it worked.
