Pick up remote to keep watching.
Can't watch a programme lasting more than about half an hour without having to pick the remote up to keep watching.
How do I make it stop? I'm more than capable of turning off my TV on my own when I'm finished watching.
Half tempted to glue the thing to the ceiling fan.

Re: Pick up remote to keep watching.
Hi @Silvermanz
Sky don't let you turn eco mode off as it was implemented to meet EU law. Sky say:
"If you're viewing the same channel for 4 hours, an on-screen message will pop up to let you know your TV is about to go into Eco mode. To carry on watching, press any button on your Sky remote. Eco mode can't be turned off"
However it does pop up for sooner than 4 hours. But half hour seems a bit extreme. Have you tried power off for few minutes and see if this timer is reset?
