Saving energy with standby
Switching your Sky±HD box to standby when it’s not in use will
reduce the amount of energy that it uses. Remember that the box
can still make recordings when in standby so we recommend you
make a habit of pressing the standby button (so the light on the
box turns amber) as soon as you finish watching TV.
Alternatively, you can switch your Sky±HD box off by pressing
and holding the standby button for 5 seconds (so the light on
the box turns red). Remember that when the box is off, it cannot
make recordings.
Your Sky±HD box features an energy saving mode called Auto
Standby. If the box is inactive throughout any two hour period
between 11pm and 4am, it automatically goes into standby.
Just before this happens, if your TV is on, you see a message on
screen. You can press back up to remove the message, otherwise
your Sky±HD box goes into standby.
This does not affect any recordings you have set, as the box can
still perform up to two simultaneous recordings while in standby.
When you turn the box back on it will be tuned to the channel you
last watched.
If you want to switch off Auto Standby, press services (for Options),
press down then select the Sky± Set Up tab. Highlight Auto
Standby and use left/right to choose OFF then press the
green
button (Save Settings).
