TV360 standby mode

Is there a way to disable it completely?

If I don't use it for a while it switches off and the power light goes red. I turn my TV on and it says no input so have to remember to switch it on each time. If it turned on when the TV did, that'd be great! But it doesn't so it's just plain annoying now.

I've already set my boxes to fast start.

Any help appreciated.

  • You can't turn it off completely but you can set how long before it goes into standby.

    If you go to Settings > System > Standby time, you can change between 4, 5, 6 or 24 hours before the 360 is put into standby when there is no interaction with it.

    If the 360 remote is paired to your TV it should turn on the 360 and TV when you press the red power button if one power is set to on, also in the System settings. Pressing the white power button will just turn your TV on and off.

     

  • Is that going to change at all? It's bizarre that it can't be turned off at all.

    My kids watch the TV mostly so it's set to the same channel all the time. If we don't change the channel that day, the next day, the box turns itself off.

    Its a small inconvenience, yes. But one that wasn't there with the old V6 system. This definitely feels like a step backwards.

      Hi MrMoMo,

      Thank you for your post, welcome to the Community Forums.

      We're afraid as roy247 has advised, it's not possible to switch-off the auto standby feature, but we'll certainly pass on your feedback regarding this.

      One of the many power saving (or should I say "Planet Saving") measures that are becoming standard fit whether we like it or not. A lot of regulations now insist on them.

      24 hours without a button press isn't long enough? Surely it's turned off and on?

    You should try the Sky Stream device. It turns off after ten minutes if you don't give the controller a shake.
