Should it ? was there an update recently ?

I noticed the following behaviour the other day.... I asked it to record the GP which started about 6.15. I also put the box on 103 so I could rewind to the start if it forgot to do the recording.

Strangely when I came to watch at 6.30, I tried to rewind but the box gave me the coming out of hibernation message. It obviously wasn't buffering as normal. However I checked the recording and that was fine.

So obviously the HD was running as it was recording but the LiveTV buffering was in standby mode. Seems reasonable if a little odd.

In Standby mode I agree it's still a heck of a lot of power. If you put it into standby it really should power down all HD and audio/visual systems except the Scheduler/CPU.
