switching sky off

[carmalee]

I don't have sky tv anymore but I do play the TV through the sky box - better picture etc. I'm going to Africa for up to eight weeks at the end of the year - will I have any probs if I just switch everything off and unplug the tv? also, is it better to leave my CH on very low (oil boiler) or programme it to come on twice a day?

Swtich it all off. Standby can still use quite a bit of power.
