It tells you that you can set the time it takes before going into standby in the PVR menu but there's no such option there. 
South Africa’s biggest forum. Discuss, discover, and connect with thousands of members.
BTW .. and a bit OT - MCA recommends that you do NOT put the PVR into standby
Are you talking about the HDPVR?
If yes then:
Menu > Personalise > Automatic Standby
SD PVR. I'm guessing it's not capable.
NO, this feature is on a HD-PVR only. Time to upgrade
unless the sd pvr had the ability to just turn the HDD or PVR function only off - really trying hard to remember here it did have something like that
