Re: Turn off puks
Yeah it's fine. I don't expect it'll make much difference but you can certainly do that.
Consider liking this post if it was helpful, or mark as an answer if it solved it for you.
Sky Stream customer. Past user of Sky Digital, Sky+, Sky+ HD and Sky Q. 3x pucks. Main TV is an LG OLED with Sonos Beam.

Re: Turn off puks
Would not advise keeping them powered off overnight or for long periods.
Just leave them in standby.
The Pucks do get regularly updates overnight, the best time to have the devices drip fed with the updates.
Not just for the OS itself, being renamed to Sky OS from Entertainment OS.
But, firmware updates to the puck and Sky Glass TV, remotes and Sky live.
Sky backend process updates and UI updates
Plus Sky app and tnird party app updates.
These updates will not themselves cause much if any noticeable hit on a local network, downloaded and installed in a timely manner.
When in standby, all the pucks are doing is a keep me up for their wifi connection and not constantly using your wifi connection to any great extent.
But, as said its best to be up for the regular updates, rather than having that done on a power up and during day viewing.
Most important is to make sure in the puck settings is to have Network standby set to On and if using ethernet to turn wifi Off.
This will stop the Puck or Sky Glass losing its connection to your local network, that can cause startup from standby startup issues.
Sky Stream with two pucks (Former Sky Q and Sky+ customer), Sky Ultrafast + using Sky SR203 hub. Sky Protect kit tester.
