I turn my SA V+ off overnight unless I'm going to be recording something.

One annoying bug is that the (noisy) hard drive will NEVER spin down if you boot it up and leave it in standby.

Once it's booted I have to take it out of standby for a minute or so then put it into standby and the the drive will then eventually spin down.

When in standby it usually spins up and down again roughly at 17 minutes past the hour for me.
