I feel sure that there certainly used to be something in the settings menu that enabled you to do this. I have never done it but feel sure that I have seen it somewhere, Cannot remember where though Tony From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Darran Ross Sent: 04 December 2013 12:48 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: turning off auto shutdown feature on sky+hd box? Simon, I don't think this is possible. I seem to remember that once it gets to 1am the Sky box will auto shutdown after 30 minutes or so if it doesn't see any interaction from the viewer. Is there any particular reason though why you can't make use of the recording features to capture these programmes? You could then safely transfer to video during the day.
