Noisy Sky Box

[Easy_Targa]

I have a Sky HD box in the bedroom on a multi room subscription (largely redundant now) and although it's on standby and not recording, you can hear it regularly coming to life, spinning up its hard disk and doing.........well, something or other. It's distracting at night, so is there any setting I can change to stop this and keep in quiet?

I think that updates are certainly part of the issue but this is happening about four or five times a night every single night. Surely Sky are not updating stuff that much?
I had an older box before this one(non HD) and that did the same trick and was noisier but at least it was maybe only once or twice a night.
The modern (2TB) HD box in the front room, comes to life every ten minutes or so just makes quieter whizzy noises for a few minutes then goes off again. I had to sleep in the front room the other night and ended up putting a cushion over the thing.

OK so taking a couple of responses into account.
Is it possible to turn off the "anytime" function/capability? I don't need it upstairs.

This one is not on the network, it requires a separate box to do that. I took the phone line out as well in case it was dialling out in the dead of night.
Will try the settings for these On Demand features and switch them off, thanks, its got to be worth trying.

Just to update this for posterity. This worked........ sort of anyway. Box still powers up but less often and its quieter because the hard disk doesn't seem to "chatter" like it did. It's now bearable in the bedroom.
