January 27, 20233 yr Ok I feel dumb for asking this but here goes! Just got a new Android TV. I tend to fall asleep while watching it at night and want it to switch off automatically after a set amount of time. The menu system shows two choices: Standby Timer (3hr/4hr/5hr/6hr) Sleep Timer (15min/30min/1hr/2hr/3hr/4hr) Whats the difference? The documentation isn't clear. Thanks much.
January 27, 20233 yr Administrators Standby= some form of energy saver mode? Sleep timer is exactly what you are asking for. My old set had that.

January 27, 20233 yr For some reason it made me think of MSFS active pause etc. I also like to fall asleep in front of the TV sometimes, but if I knew it was going to switch off it might keep me awake, or wake me up when it does. But overall seems a good idea.
