[awhitey44]

hey lids
just a quick question, who on here turns off the box wen they go to bed. if im honest i used to abuse my dm500c i dnt think it got turned off in 3yrs. im a bit older now and a bit more skint and just wanna take care of my ?145 clone. so what do people do
1. leave it on - if it ~~~~s up it wasgoin 2 anyway
2. standby - cautious
3. press stanby n flik the power switch to off

also more importantly does doing any of the above effect he boxes performance, longevity & memory

In 2 words 'Deep Standby'

I press standby, that is enough.

i always switch mine off,press shut down, then off by the power, just as i speak mate about 2 weeks ago my dm800 clone went up in smoke,quite lucky i think i was there when it happened,had the box over 2 years to, thats prob the risk u take with clones or i was just unlucky

[shankill2012]

I had a dm800hd for about 2 years and turned it off every night by shutdown on remote and never had a problem, i would be more worried about the clone being left on at night and going on fire than i would having to fork out for a new box - a box can be replaced - a family cant.

[Wingnut]

true mate, a family cant be replaced, think i was prety lucky noticing the box up in smoke, now have a vu solo clone, yes i went for the clone again,always have it off at night and when im not using it also

[IAmATeaf]

I've always just put my dm800se into quick standby.

Have a bit of sense and power it down via remote switch everything off at night....your probably a bit more skint coz of your electric bills from the 500C,a box on standby still sucks your electricity FACT!!
Those clones heat up fairly fast and I for one wouldnt trust anything plugged in overnight....be safe and not sorry.
Only takes two presses of a button to turn off.

i put mine on standby and once in week i turn it from the mains

[micflair]

They turn off? Didn't know mine had an off feature. What image are you using? haha.

My dm800se has been on for god knows how long, but sense should say put it in standby at night of course.
