Mend > Satellite Receivers

my sky+ box has recently started turning itself off. ?

My Sky+ box has started to turn itself off. Mainly when i'm watching something that i have recorded. It then takes a few minutes before it will turn back no again. It's done it twice today alone.
My sky protect subscription recently came up for renewal and i didnt renew it. Is it a bit convenient that as soon as i'm not protected that it starts to play up?
It seems to have started since the weather has started getting hotter.

Sky Sky Sky+Video, Satellite Receivers Started Turning Minutes

There is an option within the user menu to swith-off power-save mode, i dont have a unit myself, so cant recall quite where it is, just go thru the menu using ur remote, and when u find something like "Power Save mode", then swith it to OFF. if the unit doesnt detect any functions, i.e any buttons being pressed, then it goes into power save mode, u can effectively stop this by simply operating a function now and then, and then the time out function resets, i think if it doesnt detect a user function for 2-3 hours then it goes into standby, obviously if ur wachin a film, then the film could last longer than the time out period, hence why it goes into standby... Can u reply to this if this works...
