Sony RDR-HXD910 - HDD runs when off

[Richchad]

I have a Sony RDR-HXD910 Recorder, which since getting Sky+ is not used much now but have noticed early in the morning the HDD is running even though it is switched off and nothing programmed to record.
It was running again this morning before 7am when it switched itself off.
Any ideas why and can I stop it?

It's probably downloading EPG data, mine is usually doing that at that time of day. The display will have EPG on the right hand side if this is the case...

I think you can deactivate it in the setup, but it isn't doing any harm and it would stop straight away if you wanted to use the machine...
