Had a new v2 2TB SkyQ box installed yesterday (silver trim, external power brick) to replace my old 2TB Sky+HD box.
Very impressed by the improvement in picture quality but when the box is in standby the hard drive seems to be constantly ticking away and a quiet fan running. There's nothing being recorded, pushed on-demand is turned off and it's on the latest software so what is it doing? There's nobody else accessing the drive - I don't have any multi-screen mini boxes so I have WiFi turned off on the box (both frequencies) and it's hard wired to the router.
The old HD box went completely silent in standby - you could hear the hard drive spin down, but the Q box seems to be constantly doing something.
Is this normal? Is there a setting I can change to tell the box to stand down and shut up?
