Back to the original question.

If I remember correctly (from what I read on .com), there is not much difference between the box being on standby and switched on. I think that the only thing that happens when the box goes into standby mode is that the audio output, the video out of the TV Scart and aerial socket are shut down. Even the VCR Scart is left active..

Maybe leaving the box on is an option. I do with mine (the Tivo I use has trouble turning the cable box on to change channels, so it's easier for me to leave the box on), and it doesn't seem to be affected by it.
