If set to ECO mode, consumes 0.9w, so a lot cheaper, but mine loses internet wifi connection every day and needs a reset, which is a pain.
Does anyone out there routinely turn their SKY Q off every night at the Mains? And if so, are there any negative effects on operation?

Had to disable eco mode to fix some of the issues, but even then I would end up with connectivity issues randomly.
After a few calls to Technical support I got them to send me a new box as part of my upgrade.
However boxes are owned and maintained by Sky, you should call them and tell them the box is faulty, after going through the diagnosis etc over the phone they will send you a replacement box (free).
They used to con people by charging them for Q boxes even though you actually never own the new boxes at launch saying its a installation fee, however how the fee can change depending on the storage capacity of the box was a mystery to me."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/47206657","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"kevouston"},"datePublished":"2022-04-04T09:44:14.000Z","text":"And you still have to pay extra for HD "},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/47207213","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gollywood"},"datePublished":"2022-04-04T11:05:29.000Z","text":"Will it be able to record programmes if turned off at mains?"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/47207872","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"King65"},"datePublished":"2022-04-04T12:36:08.000Z","text":"I also turn my broadband router off when I am not online."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/47210353","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"airbus330"},"datePublished":"2022-04-04T18:40:21.000Z","text":"
