Look in power settings, should be something like 'always on'.

Thanks, just checked and the "always on" is ticked, so I don't know why I still get the shutting down pop up box, I even changed my remote batteries as I thought it could be that

Re: turn off standby on V6 box?

The auto power off message should only show after 4 hours, not 30 minutes.
My other thought is a sticky standby button on the remote.

Re: Turn off standby on V6 box?

Is it definitely the same message that you get when you press the standby button?

If so, it could be caused by something else in the room generating IR signals that the V6 box thinks is a "standby" command. Try covering up the panel on the front of the box and see if it stops happening.

Is it definitely your V6 box and not the TV?

Re: Turn off standby on V6 box?

This sounds to be a tv message and not TiVo.

If it was TiVo - pressing OK on TiVo remote would clear it.

Next time try pressing OK on the tv remote.
