HD DRX-895C Hard Drive in stand by mode

[sep9001]

Hi

Just picked up a used Sky box HD DRX-895C, for some reason the hard drive keeps spining all the time, even when the box is in stand by.

I have done the firmware update, reset the box and have rebuild the planner.

Any other suggestions or does your box do the same?

Thanks

Kev

sure its the drive and not the fan?

also, turned off the on-demand stuff?

not sure if youve read this but seens a common issue, sorry i dont have time to read all 20 pages for an answer but there is a workaround involving a manual recording which the box goes to sleep afterward.

Thanks Neil,

Have read all those already and have tried to switch off on demand as well.
