I got an M6 yesterday and left it on standby last night. When I came downstairs this morning there was no red light and I was unable to turn it back on. I had to unplug it and it leave it for a couple of minutes and when I plugged it back in the red light came on. I am unsure if it will turn on fully as I didn't have time to try it but no doubt I will find out tonight. Should I leave the box plugged in and on standby and is there a particular way I should be turning it off? I am a complete Luddite so any advice would be appreciated!
M6 on standby or not?

Standby should be fine to use (other than the ecological/electricity bill side of things). Likewise, leaving it turned on fully (as long as the device has decent ventilation) has not been a problem for any my models.
Let us know how it goes when you get home.

One quick thought... if I use my iMX6 or M6 devices, and switch to another model with my HDMI switch, I sometimes have to restart the iMX6 or M6 before video is displayed. They don't behave like that if I connect them directly to my monitor, but I only have one HDMI socket, so I've daisy chained a couple of HDMI switches.

Thanks for your reply. I only have one device so the HDMI is connected all of the time. If it's ok to leave it on standby I don't understand why it would not work this morning. I have unplugged it completely before I left for work. Will unplugging it cause any issues?
If you only unplugged the power cable, that will be fine. If you unplugged the HDMI cable as well, I'd reconnect the HDMI lead FIRST, then the power cable.
Iv got a imx6 I had to put it back to factory setting now everything RM works except live sport pro and show box
Looks like you updated showbox to most recent version which is bugy. You might need to reinstall ShowBox in order to get it working.
