I have the Wharfedale non HDMI non TUTV LP250 and I have experienced the same thing. In addition on my unit if it has been left in standby after a couple of hours or so (I haven't timed it) the clock goes off. It reappears when I take the unit out of standby although it hasn't gone to Low Power.
This is not the only problem that the box has experienced since it changed to V13. The box has always been abit hit or miss - the biggest problem being sometimes getting stuttering recordings (this has been reduced by moving it as far as I can from other RF sources). It had been running OK for a while but since it changed to v13 its gone downhill.
Two new problems in addition to the above is that it manages to change its setting on the set up screen from not allowing Low Power to allowing Low Power. I have to change it back half a dozen times this week as low power is a bit of a bore (I normally unplug at night but a couple of times recently I haven't so it picked up the update).
The second problem is that on two occassions I have lost all of the channels except those on the main BBC multiplex. On the first occasion 4 attempts at first time installation bought them back. On the second occassion this didn't work. Having tested all the connections and managing to tune in a different freeview box to all the channels (to eliminate the transmitter and my ariel) it would only show the BBC. After three days another attempt at retune and all the other channels are back.
I'm waiting to see what happens next but v13 has certainly been a backward step for my DTR.
I understand that the new version was done due to DSO. As I'm in a pre DSO area that hasn't be relevant to me yet.

So I put it aside for months, occasionally gave it a try, no dice. Then I connected it up in anticipation of OADs, set on BBC1 and auto-scanning for updates (none found of course). Then a couple of days ago I watched some live TV on it for a few minutes - no probs, so I scheduled some recordings - all fine, and EPG response is faster than the same model Hitachi.
