    Hi,

    My UPC DVR box powered of at about 10:15 - as it in shut off, no standby light or clock - but I can still hear the hard drive/fan working away.

    is this happening with anybody else?

    help:eek:

    When mine is on standby it still makes the same sound, I can hear it over the tv if the volume is low :rolleyes:

    If I shut it off with the switch it shuts up.

    Neilw,

    you misunderstand (maybe I didn't explain properly)

    the noise isn't the issue - the box has shut off completely

    I called UPC who did the usual "unplug it, plug it in again" and it powered back up but channels are gone and the the box shuts off again after a few seconds

    I 'm waiting for an engineer to call back

    I got my first box last week and there was a low hum off it when it was in standby.

    I rang UPC and they replaced it. It was almost like a transformer sound.

    The second one also hums. I rang UPC and they are waiting to get my first one back to look at it.

    I will give it a few days and call them again.

    Interested to hear what they say about this.
