|  [iO] 8300hd settings issue
Hey all,
Picked up the dvr on Monday and I have to say I waited too long to upgrade. I do have a question/issue that I hope someone here can answer as I couldn't find any posts about it.
Issue: I shut down the DVR at night and every morning when I wake up to go to work (5 am) the box is on and I can hear the hard drive spinning. I looked within all my settings/preferences and the only thing I have to record on a schedule is "LOST" every Wednesday at 9 pm. Is there any settings I need to change? and does IO put ours in power-save mode at 1 am? if so, could that be actually turning it on?
Thanks for your help!

| When I power the DVR off at night, it stays off. Are you saying that your On/Off light is actually on when it was off when you went to bed?
If the DVR starts to record, there's a red record light that comes on whether the box is on or off. I'm pretty sure it doesn't turn the box on, if it was off and needed to record.

Phil I know you said you checked all your settings, but to be sure, go back to the Preferences menu and make sure that Timer: Wake Up is not enabled.
If it isn't enabled, reboot the box - sometimes they get some crazy instructions stuck in memory.

GeekNJ,
Yes, I power it off at night, I've even waited to hear the hard drive power down completely. And when I wake up in the morning it is on, but it's not recording anything.
I have recorded stuff since I got it (Mets game, and it worked fine.) I'll double check the settings again.
Thanks |

Quint,
I did reboot it and noticed that when i went into preferences my timer was set to turn on at 12:00 am. (Figures), but I did disable it and I'll check it tomorrow a.m., I appreciate both you and Geek's responses.
Thanks again,
Phil |
