A couple of friends have asked me, assuming that as I have a big dish I will know, why their Sky box goes to the screen message: 'Your box will is about to go into standby'. To stop it press etc.' This causes stoppage of recordings they are making whilst not watching. Said I would ask here how to prevent this. TIA
 
It shouldn't stop recordings, it is an energy saving function and can be switched off in the Services menu, System Setup, Sky+ Setup, Auto Standby, turn to off.
 
Many thanks
 
That "function" (useless that it might be) was applied to ALL Sky boxes in the last set of updates.
 
Passed on above. Not using Sky plus box but recording using Sony DVD recorder,
I am told; if that should that make any difference ?
 
No - it will still turn off unless the function is disabled.

I think its set at 4 hours without a remote button press during the day, 2 hours overnight
