My old (but in working order) Grundig Sky Digibox keeps going in " Standby" mode every few hours. I then have to switch it back on. Does any one know why that is please?

Sky have activated auto standby on all receivers at all times of the day. Turn it off using Services - 5 - Auto Standby - Off then save the changes,.

Analoguesat! Many thanks for your help. Just done that. Hope it does'nt go off again.

If it does carry on switching off its probably the old problem of the power supply capacitors failing. Very common on old Grundigs.

Thanks again. I can do a little bit of repairing. Would you be able to help me identify which Caps. they are?
Regards
