bengaging 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2017 System keeps restarting when I click Power Off! I recently purchased two of these atv 495 Pro hdr’s and this happens to both... on the main dashboard screen, I hit the power button, and then click Power Off. 80% of the time, it simply restarts the system, and 20% of the time it actually shuts down. What the hell is going on? this has been wasting a lot of my time trying to wait for it to finally shut down after the tenth try, while I keep on waiting for it to restart over and over again - even though I clicked Power Off, and NOT stand by or reboot! please advise ASAP.

wcs2229 8 Report post Posted November 3, 2017 I have never powered off my MyGica boxes ... always ready to watch without waiting to boot. They draw very little/almost no power and I just select another HDMI input on my TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bengaging 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2017 So what’s the point of having a power off button then, if it just restarts / reboots the system? Makes no sense. Most compouters, and other electronics should be turned off sometimes, so can anyone tell me if this is a glitch? If so, what are the chances that I have the same issue on two separate boxes?

wcs2229 8 Report post Posted November 3, 2017 The older MyGica boxes that I had (ATV582E) did not have a power button and newer processors draw even less power. They may have added the power off button to market for eco-consciousness to save maybe 1-2 watts with the CPU on idle, which is much less savings than buying a 9w LED bulb to replace a 60w incandescent bulb in your home. If both your boxes behave the same, then this goes to perhaps being an afterthought for marketing purposes (doesn't always have to work!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
