If the box has been in standby it will always have a slightly warm feel to it, but it should not be hot. Where have you got it sitting? is that space well ventilated? anything sitting below or on top of it?
What image have you got installed? you might need to adjust the fan settings...
-
May also be something as simple as a power timer that has been set on a day to day basis...ie deep standby via timer.
-
it is well ventilated with nothing on top or sides and vents at back of unit,i am using bh,only has started to do this in the past week,what should the setting be at in standbymode fancontrol setting,my is fan basic action is off and use fan timer no,thanks
-
What version of BH?? I think the autoshutdown plugin is active, check by pressing the green button, this will show you the plugins installed. If autoshutdown is there check if it is set to on, if it is set it to disable.
-
it is set to disable
-
Ok did you check the timers as suggested by Meerkat...
-
i have epg auto updates set to on every day,but would this be the cause of duo not coming on
-
No wouldn't think so bud, you would need to check power timers etc, something that is putting the box into deep standby or similar.
-
thanks for the info,i go and check it out,what is power timers and where to find it,

even if the receiver were in deep sleep it would still wake upon command by the remote control.
How old is the receiver ?, it may be showing early signs of the "red light of death".
-
Take off the top cover and give it a gentle dusting,,could be overheating from dust buildup,,
as for deep sleep Bh image 207 + 208, it seem to be quite common as to maintain the idea of using minimum power whilst in standby..
remote control should wake it up by repeatedly pressing several times -
i'am using bh 2.0.8 and it is only 5 weeks old from w.o.s.
-
Ok this is what I would do, try a different image. ViX for example. If the problem ceases then at least that rules out a hardware problem. If you don't like ViX then you can always go back to BH and see if the problem returns. Sometimes it can just be that the image needs reflashed.
-
is it a 3.5 hdd. disconnect it and see if the problem persists although thats only supposed to affect clone power supplies
-
with this problem (freeze in standby) would it be allright to turn on the fan in standbymode setting and give it a try
-
Yep worth a try bud.

In that case your receiver will have the newer surface mounted capacitors to eliminate the "red light of death" fault, as suggested above try a different image to rule out hardware faults.
