1. One box with identical settings to another does not return to standby
  
  This morning the red-ring is blue and the drive is spinning. Yes, I am away for 3 plus weeks. I will leave the behaving box on standby as I normally do, set to record as and when programmed. The problem box, I will uninstall the OTA and leave it switched off with the main switch. There is no...

2. One box with identical settings to another does not return to standby
  
  To be honest, I had forgotten about the timers until they were mentioned. It is so long ago I cannot even remember the scenario in which they were used. Both boxes were set up years ago and apart from updating the CFW, not touched. Of course today the timers are irrelevant as you point out. As...

3. One box with identical settings to another does not return to standby
  
  Well, this always 'on' when I get up in the morning having turned it off via the remote is a real pain because of the lecky it wastes and the wear and tear on the drive. It certainly had been doing this for many weeks and I just turned the machine on and off again with the remote without...

  I uninstalled disable-ota yesterday and the problem did not occur. disable-ota is installed on another box and it does not have a problem. Any idea what is happening or how I could track down the problem?

  Ok thank you, I will look at the other problems later. I will also clean out both boxes. btw I use that type of fan, probably an identical one as a cooler for a maxed out pi processor with a home made monster heatsink.

  I wondered about that because sysmon showed the fan as 'red' a couple of times and now I have installed 'fan' it shows as fan off. This made me think I should physically check if the fan needs de-fluffing and/or is defunct. I will uninstall 'fan'. At £38 I am seriously considering buy two new...

  The fan package is installed and set at 100% minimum and has been rebooted several times. Sysmon show the fan is off at the moment. When I return next month I will dismantle the unit and see just what is happening. In the meantime I will turn the unit off permanently

  The unit responds to the remote now, presumably because it has cooled down. My first thought was, 'heat'........HDD as I am no expert. I was unaware I could run the box without the HDD! Anyhow, now that it IS responding, do I still need to disconnect the HDD as a first step? If so it will have...
