What is a standby button on a sky remote?

The standby button on a Sky remote is used to put your Sky box or television into standby mode, which effectively powers it down while allowing it to remain in a low-energy state. This feature allows for quicker startup times when you want to watch TV again, as the device doesn’t need to go through a full boot-up process. When the device is in standby, it can still receive signals from the remote for functions like recording or updating.
