I have a brand new WD TV Live device, and I’m liking it so far. But I have noticed that if I ‘power down’ the device by pressing the power button on the remote (causing all the lights to go off on the device), the ‘drive access’ light on the external USB Hard Drive I have plugged in does not go out…

The drive lights go off if you set it in Deep Standby (press OFF > 5 seconds). It still might be a good idea to eject the drive manually first.

External USB Hard Drive not 'sleeping'

Thanks! That is really helpful. I have downloaded the latest manual and will read up on features.
