V6 question

[slowstar]

Just wanted to check when tv is off the v6 has a glowing red light is this normal? Or do i need to switch off at the wall and then switch on again or does it mean its just in stand by? Sorry am not very techy

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.
