can only offer advice regarding this …
I noticed that even when the device is off I feel warm at touch and net connection lights blinks.
It’s not “off” then … it’s in “Standby” … you need to press and hold the Red Power Button on the Remote Control for at least 5 Seconds for a complete Shutdown (ie. then it will not have any network connection or power … and won’t get warm)
