I like to switch my V+ Box off at night along with all the electronics (Amp, HTPC, Wii, TV) conected to the same power outlet. It's not really my idea but the owner of the house's and as I am only renting, I do as I'm told

Thanks for the reply, That's why I'm a bit weary of switching it off while a channels on, because of the buffering to the hard-drive. I think I'll just carry on putting the V+ into standby before power off. It only takes about 2 secs to switch it on again at the remote - I guess I'm just getting lazy
