5:30am is too early to be doing anything, and my Sky Q box agrees. As I've found in recent weeks, it takes ages to start up at that time every day. And it's not just mine that refuses to be an early riser; all Sky Q boxes are set up the same way. It's more than a little annoying, but thankfully I've found a way to get it up and at 'em much quicker.
Normally, I wouldn't mind it being a late starter. I would even have some sympathy for the device. After all, I'm no early riser myself. But lately, our youngest son has been waking at around 5am, leaving me scrambling for the remote so that Bing can babysit while I consume the first of the day's many coffees. Not textbook parenting, I know. But you find that a lot becomes acceptable before 6am...
