I have a SVRHDT-500 Recorder.  When I set the recorder to record something after I've gone to bed or go out, it doesn't record as the TV is switched off.  The recorder automatically switches itself off when I turn the TV off, which really defeats the object of a recorder as you generally record things when you are away from home!!

I have tried changing the Standby Mode and doing a factory reset on the recorder but nothing has worked. I have had two or three hard disk recorders and this has never been a problem.  I would like the recorder to stay on when the TV is off.  Can anyone help please?
