Had a fire safety talk at work. The fireman asked which of us had appliances left on permanently at home. The upshot was that he advised that set top boxes be switched off at night or whenever not needed for long periods. (also televisions). Apparently there is quite an issue with fire safety when these are powered for long periods. I leave my Virgin cable box on all the time and turn my tv off at the wall every night. Just wondering about you forum members......When I got home, I put my hand on top of the Virgin box and you know, he was right!! Hot rather than warm.
