Holiday

I am going on holiday tomorrow for a week, is it safe to leave my Sky Glass Gen2 on standby? 

I have noticed that it does have a tendancy of switching itself on with any sort of motion, just wanted to know if it was advisable to switch off at the mains? 

Sky Glass Gen2 65"
Sky Air 43" in bedroom
LG 65" TV with Puck in spare room.

Broadband with Seethelight as on new build estate that does not support Sky.

Hi @Reevo87 

 

Yes you can leave it on. It is designed to be in standby. It will power off if no motion etc detected. Equally it's safe to power off. I've just come back after a week away and all devices were powered off at the mains (except router) and turned on fine when arrived back.
