Hello, does this issue occur when you press the "TV Power" and not "All Power?" The receiver itself does not need to be turned off, as our auto power save system puts the digital receiver into a light sleep after four hours of inactivity. Contour 2 receivers can also be placed on standby to reduce power usage without affecting scheduled recordings. Power saver mode can be activated at any time by saying “power down” into the Voice remote. Here is some additional information:
