Saving energy with standby
Switching your Sky±HD box to standby when it’s not in use will
reduce the amount of energy that it uses. Remember that the box
can still make recordings when in standby so we recommend you
make a habit of pressing the standby button (so the light on the
box turns amber) as soon as you finish watching TV.
Alternatively, you can switch your Sky±HD box off by pressing
and holding the standby button for 5 seconds (so the light on
the box turns red). Remember that when the box is off, it cannot
make recordings.
Your Sky±HD box features energy saving modes called Active Standby
and Eco Standby (DRX890W, DRX895W, DRX890, DRX895 models
only). With Active Standby mode, if the box is inactive throughout a
certain period of time, it’ll automatically go into standby. With Eco
Standby mode, as well as going into Active Standby, the box will fully
turn off for a few hours at night.
Just before going into standby you’ll see a message on screen
if your TV is on. You can press back up to remove the message,
otherwise your Sky±HD box will go into standby. This doesn’t affect
any recordings you have set, as the box can perform up to two
simultaneous recordings while in standby. When you turn the box
back on, it will be tuned to the channel you last watched.
If you want to change or switch off the Standby Mode, press services,
(for Options), press down then select the Sky± Setup tab. Highlight
Standby Mode and use left/right arrow to choose between ACTIVE,
ECO and OFF. Then press the
green button (Save Settings).
