Regarding this power off/sleep issue, will it do any harm to turn the Shield's power off at the mains socket without shutting down the box from the settings menu? My 2015/gen 1 Shield shares a power strip with my AVR and TV, amongst other TV boxes and a network switch, so I prefer to turn it all off at the mains socket when they're not in use (which is the majority of the time). Thus far I've always manually shut down the Shield via the menu option before turning the power off because I wasn't sure if any file system corruption or whatever would occur if the power was suddenly cut, in the same way that you shouldn't cut off the power to a Linux or Windows system without first manually powering down via the OS.
