Timer recordings from standby

This might be a quick yes or no answer!!!

I'm a new toppy owner and noticed a 'feature' Can the toppy come out of standby and record from a preset timer? If so, what have I missed. If not - not the end of the world.

Thanks

Yes. You set the timer and leave the box in standby. It'll come out of standby, record your timer and then go back into standby.

Thanks for quick reply ... am I missing something?

I've just set a timer from the system menu and put the box in standby ... the timer has gone but no recording has been made. Should it be this simple, but work!!!

Try setting one in the EPG.

I removed all the TAPs and reset to factory settings because I noticed the front display wasn;t showing anything other than the time. Set recording, put in standby and it worked.

TAPs I had were:
EPG Navigator
UK timers
UK OZ Surfer
Auto Resume

Will have to re-install and see which causes the problem.

EDIT: Just found on toppy.org.uk that this is a known bug and a cold reset usually fixes it. Hope it get's fixed soon.

Maybe certain TAPs cause the problem more than others.

Yes, pulling the plug does the trick. Don't forget to switch it out of standby afterwards or it'll think it's January 2003!

Has it been established that the bug has anything to do with using TAPs? I only had it once I think on an older version of the firmware; presume you are on latest version - 5-12-25

Edit just noticed you said you are a new user so presumably your new Toppy came with latest version.
