The digibox, notably, cannot be turned off without removing all sources of power. The "off" control disables video and sound output and changes the colour of the front LED but leaves all other hardware running, amounting in as little as a 1w power saving over the box being fully on.
Although the "Auto-Standby" in the 1st post's link is for Sky+ & SkyHD boxes, so there'd be a power saving from putting the HDD on standby.
