Your comment is very plausible and personally I feel on the right track.

The fault is extremely random, there is no point in waiting for it to happen, it won`t do it to please.

After all the comments and my own experience, I am convinced that there is some fault in the TiVo box control which triggers this TV Standby for some reason purely at random. TV fault ? None whatsoever. Incompatibility of TiVo with TV ? Possible, but unlikely.

As I write, the fault has not happened for 3 days consistently on Cable, but it will, unless by some chance it has gone away.

With the present pattern of events, if the fault becomes very infrequent, I can probably live with it for a while. But if it persists, I cannot accept a faulty TiVo box and will insist it is replaced.

The engineer who installed it, also fitted a new part in the Virgin wall box, so there is another variable which may be suspect.

Really, it is fairly fundamental stuff. If a system is working perfectly and a new part is installed, then faults arise - no prizes for guessing where to look eh ?

I must play the waiting game and see how it goes.

I thank every one of you for your constructive and helpful comments.
