By default, your device will shut down after 4 hours of inactivity. You will see the picture below.

This may explain your device shutting down randomly. Learn how to change this setting below.

Changing time before Idle Standby:

  1. Navigate to the 'Settings' menu on your Better TV device

  2. Under the 'Help & Support' row, select 'Advanced'

Please Note:

  • If your device is inactive for more than 30 minutes after being in 'Sleep Mode', it will enter 'Deep Sleep Mode'. Once in this state, your device will no longer display a visible LED light

  • You can press the power button, on your remote control, to turn your device on again
