Sky stream standby mode

[Boolee]

Same thing recently started happening with my Sky Stream.

Knocks itself off every few hours while watching Live TV. This doesn't happen while watching any On Demand content, only Live TV. 

Extremely annoying.

Same software versions etc. here, too, just for info.

Hi @mfactor111  You may well be right but I don't know for sure as I can't be asked to read it all but if they did I wonder if they may be in breach of this legislation.  Although we are no longer in the EU the pucks are widely used in other EU countries and Sky need to be compliant with their legislation as well.

The legislation simply requires devices to go into standby "after a reasonable amount of time". There is no exact period of time specified; it's for the manufacturer to decide what is reasonable for their device.

Most TV/AV equipment is set to go into standby after 4 hours of inactivity by default. with options for the user to reduce/extend that or disable the feature completely.

Wondering if they have a voice funtion for blind users  who can't see the "Raise your Remote" prompt , I would think it would be discrimination if they did not ?

That would do me as I said I usually have music on when doing other stuff , so a sound reminder and a longer time to get to the tv would work for me...

At least have something come up on the tv earlier, maybe a countdown in the corner
