Hi
I am just checking what the best power setting to leave the V6 box in when going on holiday to allow me access during the 2 weeks I am away via the app. I usually select the wrong option and cannot access after a few days.
Many Thanks for any help
David

Use “Connected Low Power” if you want to manage recordings while away. You won’t be able to do anything else. Recording playback is restricted to your home network only due to broadcaster rights restrictions.

There's no harm done by leaving a V6 in connected low-power on a permanent basis.
As already advised, in Eco low-power planned recordings will still happen but remote access to your box is disabled.

Thank you for your replies they have been a big help.
My main wish was just to be able to access the box to access recordings and set new ones.

Thanks for the responses davidbruce,
I hope you're going somewhere nice!
Just to reiterate, if you leave the box on the settings @nodrogd has advised you should be able to access.
Do let us know if any issues occur.
Cheers,
