The Sky Stream box is only 5v and uses less then THEC64 Mini that use 5v too and that does not turn itself off(so Sky Steam uses 0.0.5 WATS a day so half a penny a day so about 15p a month) , you should have a option to set the box how you want it, Sky are not paying for the electric bill, you are, people do not like it when they can't control things properly.
Why do you have a Overnight Power Saving Mode in Settings and not day time saving mode, its silly, you did this on Sky Q and then changed it so the customer had control of it so it didn't work there too....?
All this will do is push people to use Freview because that does not interrupt your viewing, if your not watching a Sky Channel, its already doing it to me so still using the same electric every month, I did get rid of my Freeview box then got another one because of this problem.
You can't rely only on Sky Steam for your viewing and that was the whole idea of me getting it, I only used Sky Q when I had it and never had any probelms with it or need to use anything eles.

I was a PC Engineer and fix peoples PCs by going to there house, Windows XP was known to slow down PCs over time and clog up the PCs RAM and its start-up and had to reinstall it for the customer, the only way you could fix WinXP.
I now work on Mini Retro Consoles(replica retro consoles and computers) and modify them with PCUAE - https://projectcarouselusb.eu
