Hi All,

I have reset my box a number of times and pressed standby - the disk never shuts down.

I left it on overnight and in the mornign there wasa 'resting' message - but the disk was still spinning, so what was resting ? It had buffered abotu 80mins of programme.

So, if the disk never stop in standby then I think it must be broken, at the firmware level, and should be fixed.

It may only be using a few Watts of power to spin the disk, but when multiplied by ten of thousands it adds up.

My main complaint is the noise of the disk. If it shortens its life then NTL will replace it for free - but it is just WRONG, and nobody at NTL can give me a straight answer why it deos it and if they intend to fix the problem.

Does anybody know who I can contact to escalate this and save our planet ;-)
