I am worried they become very hot if left on 24/7. Should they be connected 24/7? Thanks.&nbsp;</P> Sat, 25 Apr 2026 23:07:51 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Sky-Max-Pods/m-p/5262266#M562391 Melark 2026-04-25T23:07:51Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Sky-Max-Pods/m-p/5262359#M562420 <BLOCKQUOTE><HR /><a href="https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1114596">@Melark</a>&nbsp;wrote:<BR /> <P>&nbsp;Should they be connected 24/7?</P> <HR /></BLOCKQUOTE> <P>Yes: hardware like that is intended to be permanently powered on.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>A few degrees above human body temperature will feel 'warm' but really isn't anything to worry about.</P> Sun, 26 Apr 2026 09:22:18 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Sky-Max-Pods/m-p/5262359#M562420 TimmyBGood 2026-04-26T09:22:18Z
