@Bugsie1

Such devices are designed to be plugged into a live mains socket all the time.

@Bugsie1 When you say "the streaming device" I presume you mean the small black box that we call a puck. If so then @TimmyBGood says it should just be turned off by the power button on the remote so it goes into standby. That being said when you turn it off at the power source it should reset and turn on within a few minutes and then remain stable. If it is taking half an hour to come on then it sounds like you have your setup all wrong, or it is faulty.
