Dreambox power on after electricity failure

HB13DISH

I noticed yesterday when I got home that the Dreambox 7000S was on and all other appliances had the the clock display blinking, apparently due to a momentary power failure at the electricity board.
All appliances where in standby condition, except the Dreambox.
Is there a way to get the DB in such a case to stay in standby as well, unless I press the power button?

Both my boxes (7020 and 500) always just reboot after a power failur

I think that they should stay in standby status, just like all other appliances.
But I can't find anything in the menus to do that.
It turned out that the reason for the power failure was that the electricity board changed the electric meter for no apparent reason.
I wasn't at home at the time, so they just went ahead and replaced it.
(meters are accessible from outside apartments here).

Usually the setting you are looking for is in the BIOS of a computer. Because you cant access the BIOS (At least I dont know of a way) you probably wont have much luck.

I'd imagine that its just part of the dreambox circuitry, hard wired.

Good luck in your search.

I had a look in the Dreambox registry hoping I could find some setting that might help here, but, no luck

Thanks for trying.
I will just pull the power cord if I am away from home for a day or two.

HB13,
I was reading up on Nabilosat images today, and it turns out that their Darkstar II images do what you are looking for.

Thanks Compufunk.
I will bear this in mind, but I am sticking with Gemini for the time being.
