Mzny thanks for your suggestion.

I was told that putting the V+ into standby only saved a miniscule amount as it just cuts the video/audio output. Does anyone know if this is still the case with the V6?

When the V6 is tuned to a radio station, thd TV screen goes completely black, so would this mean that, as no LED lights are being used, it hardly uses any power?

If it would save anything I would certainly take up the suggestion to use a radio as I am keen to help the environment and energy prices are to shoot up again in April.

Ahhh, so that's what it was all about then! I thought the worst when I woke up, with the effects of the medication that I have to take, hearing this in the middle of the night in a dark room. I know that I will pass one day and thought that the process of passing over had started in the early hours of this morning!! I believe in life after death (I've seen and heard spirits for most of my life), but none sounded like the noises in your links
