I have a 9150T and just wondered would it cause any problems for the STB/HD if I left it on at all times and not in standby, or would it be best to put in standby when not in use?
sorry if this has been asked before in any other threads, but any info would be greatly appreciated..:)

On mine the fan runs a lot when on (judging by the racket it makes!) so you run the risk of it seizing up long before it should do if you never switch it off. Which won't do the internals any good if they overheat as a result.
I would say put it into standby when you are not using it. You don't even need to leave it on if you've set it up to record a programme. it will wake up out of standby to do the recording then go back to sleep afterwards. Though obviously it won't do that if you switch off at the mains
I think I will switch it to standby tonight!!
The latest software on mine means the fan cuts out completely a few seconds after powering up, and I haven't heard it running once while powered in over 3 months use.

The least you could is use auto standby on/off to the times when your least likely to watch.
No no I don't watch TV 24/7..lol..:D
It was just a "what if/what would happen" type of question more than anything..I was thinking about leaving it on 24/7 but now I don't think I will!!..
also 9150T's boot up 15 mins before a scheduled recording when in stand by..i think this is to load the EPG data!
I stand corrected...:D

Yes it will update the EPG but it can make the recording without the EPG data.
