Sky HD Eco mode + remote record - potential problems?
Hi,
I've just got the latest firmware update on my HD box, but as I'm about to leave the country for a few weeks I am a bit hesitant about enabling it as I'm not sure if any remote record requests that I send whilst I am away will work when the box is in this mode?
Does anyone know how remote record requests work when the box is in eco mode?

The remote record request should be delivered when the box wakes up at around 5:30am.
The only issue is if you send a request at (for example) 3am for a programme shown at 5am, the box will not be awake in time to receive the request and record it.
Are the requests held back for everyone? If not, how would the system that sends the signal to your box know it was off?
According to http://www.skyuser.co.uk/forum/sky-hd-supertelly/52287-more-new-features-skys-epg.html:
I also tested it myself by sending a remote record from the Sky+ app while the box was in "deep sleep", the scheduled recording had appeared in the planner the next morning.
