A hard power-off of 'freeview' TVs/PVRs/set-top-boxes can mean they miss out on over-the-air software updates, and they can also experience glitches in the on-screen program-menus if you don't give them 10 minutes or so of 'learning-time' to re-acquire the menus when powered-up.

That's what I have been doing and I was just trying to get away from using 3 remotes and having to manually switch the subwoofer off, I know it's not that arduous a task but it seemed a good idea, the Sky box is left in standby all the time when not used.

As far as adding a resistor goes, post hoc, ergo propter hoc applies. If you have a working solution, leave it alone!

I will do and I've learnt a bit of Latin as a bonus.
