I have top reset the Power Saving setting and log in to iPlayer Netflix and Amazon services every day.
I suspect that the box is resetting/rebooting over night, but cannot find any way to see when the box last restarted. Is there anyway to find out this information on the V6?
Any suggestions of how to fix this? Is it worth are hard reset (loosing all saved recordings of course) to see if that fixes the issue of loosing the power saving and login settings?
If a replacement box is needed I'll loose the recordings anyway.

Firstly, there's the TiVo box and there's the V6 box - they both run the same software but are commonly referred to separately. If your box has Amazon Prime, it's the V6.
I'm not sure what you mean by "have to reset the power saving setting"? I don't recall having to re-login to iPlayer when my V6 last restarted, so this isn't necessarily the cause.
The easiest way to check if the box has recently restarted is to press the "info" button and scroll down to the bottom panel, where the info on each of the 6 recording tuners is shown. When a V6 restarts, one tuner is set on the last channel you were watching, the other 5 will tune to Ch998, the "What's new on Virgin TV" promo reel.

Thanks. It's a V6 running Tivo - hence posted in the V6 board.
I'll check the diagnostics as you mention (short cut for others Home button and 9 on the remote) as I hadn't spotted the Ch998 pattern - that will be helpful, Thanks.
Re: Power Saving. The box is "Forgetting" the Power Saving settings I have set (I don't want the default setting, so change it each time) and the Power Savings screen comes up as you go into Help and Settings - this seems to be the sort of behaviour on first boot to push the "green" credentials of the V6 towards the user. All logins for the streaming services are also forgotten, but no other settings.
Anyway, I'll check the tuners, as suggested, next time it happens to see if there's been a restart.

Hi there @JayAy
Thank you so much for your post and I am so sorry to see this is happening!
Can I ask if this happens when you have a recording set up or every night? Also have you been able to try the advise given by japitts at all?
Thank you.
