Something to do with this?

A More energy efficient TiVo box

You can now save energy and money on your electricity bill by automatically setting your TiVo box to go into standby mode, this means you won’t have to switch off your box at the mains any more. Even when in standby mode your TiVo box won’t miss a show – it wakes itself up to make any recordings you’ve requested.

You can set to go into standby if you haven’t used your box for two or four hours. To change your default setting, go to Help & Settings > Settings > Devices > Power Saving Settings.

When your box is in standby mode, you’ll see a red light to the left on the front panel, but no picture or sound. Waking your box is easy, just press any of these buttons on your TiVo remote:

• Home
• TV
• Channel up/down
• Any number key
• Power

Thank you.

Sorry, but is that happening whilst your watching something?

In fact, is anybody able to give a better explanation of power saving mode? It surely can't just go in to stand by when you're using the box?

It did.Only went to kitchen for 30 minutes.

I've fixed it now.

There is a choice of 4 now

Off - never enters standby and suggestions will be recorded
Snooze (Suggestions on) - enters standby after 4 hours but suggestions are recorded.
Snooze (Suggestions off) - enters standby after 4 hours but suggestions are not recorded.
Sleep - enters standby after 2 hours but suggestions are not recorded.

how much difference in power consumption is there? I know before this update there was not much in it

re: TiVo update - standby option
 

Did it just before I read you post.Useful information for others though.

Cheers.

Can you remember what it was set to? It's meant to default to Off for existing customers.

It saves about 8W.

It's not about money; it's about this:

That 8W = 31kg of CO2 a year. Multiply by n million TiVos and you've got a big saving.

The VHD box has always had a power saving option, at last TiVo begins to catch up.

Finally, the hard drive gets to spin down in standby! Although you can hear it spin back up with whatever background task it's decided to do now and again (when not recording)

My TIVO is so quiet, I don't notice these noises, but I expect it would be a different matter if I had the box in my bedroom.
