One thing is 100% certain, when these TV Standby`s automatically happen, I have not been anywhere near the remote.

Your suggestion of testing the TV on DTV is a good one and very practical. We do not watch DTV, but I definitely will switch it to DTV when we are not watching Cable with TiVo on Standby for a few long periods. When I am satisfied I have given it a good trial and it has not gone onto Standby, this will be my conclusion :-

The TiVo has an internal fault which activates the TV Standby at random. I will request another TiVo box. If that works OK, then the first box was definitely faulty. If I still get the TV going into Standby, then the fault is somewhere in my system.

Your suggestion is very positive thank you.
