Should I leave my box on all the time? Or should I turn it off at night?
This is completely up to you as there is no harm done by leaving it on all the time, so it is fine, but if you are adamant about turning it off all the time, you can do so as well.
I personally leave it on and INSIDE the media player 24x7. I do this for 2 reasons..
1) The box will get pushed updates periodically while it is on so I wont have to wait as long when I am ready to use it the next day.
2) The box uses an extremely tiny amount of electricity.
When I leave it on all the time, it makes it easier for me to get ready to use it the next day because all I have to do is press the red media button twice about 10 minutes before I am about to use it and it will refresh all the logins and also take care of any stray background updates, whereas if I leave it off for that long, the list of add-ons needing to update will be longer and slow me down once I am ready to use it.
