    A pink light indicates the V6 is in standby, orange means rebooting, and white is "on". If yours is red, it usually indicates a fault.

    Boxes are designed to be powered up 24x7x365, there should be no need to reboot them except occasionally for fault rectification.

    Red is the normal standby colour. Flashing Red is bad. Orange during self-test at startup. White for normal operation.

    As per above, turning the box off at the wall is not advised. When you start up again the box has to "catch-up" with all the overnight updates, which could significantly increase the boot up time of the box.

    Pink, red, all similar... post up a photo if you're not 100% sure
