Box keeps switching off when tv is
 

Hi,

Being very new to tivo is there a way i can stop the box from switching off every time the tv is shut off, as my 80 year old mother can't work it out.

Thank you for any help

The TiVo goes into standby mode.

Go to Settings / Devices / Power Saving Settings and select 'Always On'.

Will that stop it turning off when she turns the tv off at night

I'v just checked the settings, its already set to that

Any other ideas ?

That should have worked. Does she pull the plug out when she's turned the TV off?

Does the TV has a sleep/wake on signal? If so can that be set so when she turns off/on the TiVo it can sleep/wake the TV?

That's what I was going to say. My Samsung TV seem to have this built in as part of it's 'Universal Remote' option

Could it be, that rather than the box is going off, she's actually having trouble selecting the HDMI input each time she turns the TV on? If so, connecting by SCART instead of HDMI might be the simplest solution, as SCART will auto-select. (An alternative could be to put a big yellow label on the SOURCE button on the TV remote to make it easier for her to find)

It is a new Samsung Tv, are you saying it could be a tv setting i need to look at, i would have never thought of that in a million years

I will have to log into samsung and view the pdf file for the tv
