Sky stream standby mode

Hi Jenny They didn't remove it before I read it & will be following your advice! 😉

I've just moved to Sky Stream, and am still learning how to use it. I rarely pause live TV, but it sounds like the power saving is a bit too aggressive. The puck's power draw must be negligible, even when actively in use. I have other devices, which use a lot more power, and although they may recommend the power saving features, they are never forced on you.

Well annoying, this needs changing!

Omg ! Don't invite complaints .. this is a discussion group and I was pleased to find that others were suffering the same fate as myself .. as I first thought my pick was faulty .. SKY need to put this right .. what is the point of a pause on programmes if it continually turns off.  Incidentally I checked on the page where they are encouraging you to take stream .. and it still says you can pause it for 45 minutes !!! My puck just turned off the tv when I went to make a cup of tea .. no notice on screen at all .. about 10 minutes if that ... so annoying ... 

I think the more complaints the better .. as this is not what they are promoting for the streaming service.

Completely agree that the time limits are too aggressive. I couldn't even watch a long film last weekend without the warning popping up. Remote was across the other side of the room!  Seems odd that you can't disable it and I don't think it's an eco thing as you can turn off  'Overnight Power Saving' and in doing so, it warns that the device will consume more power. Why can we do that but not disable the time limits. Seems to me that they have set them based on someone's opinion of what they think everyone needs

The cynic in me still believes it to do with the ads .. I used to watch the golf then pause it for 40 mins then as I have paid for ad skipping .. I'd then catch up watching the players I wanted to see and skipping the ads .. this now stops that as it's not worth the risk of it switching off completely and actually pointless pausing for just 5 or 10 minutes .. the best option now is to take the choice to  start from beginning of the program and skip through what I want to watch .. but still don't see that they have the right to do this ... usually technology is used to give you more choice but this  actually is ensuring you have less ... not happy
