Flashing light at the rear of my TV Box Mini. Is this normal?

There is a flashing light at the rear of my Tv Bix Mini. Is this normal?

[DarrenDev · Accepted solution]

Yes - it's flashing to indicate internet traffic

So how do I remove this light at the rear of the TV Box Mini? At night it glows - very annoying. Also noticed that it does change during the night which probably is the internet traffic. 

[DarrenDev]

There is no option to remove or disable the light I'm afraid. The best I can suggest is that you cover it (but avoid covering the TV Box itself, as it may overheat).

That's crazy!! You are able to remove the EE symbol light on the white box also alongside the TV but not this light. It serves no purpose until there is a problem. Very bad design fault

[DarrenDev]

EE TV boxes have had lights on the back for over 12 years, and you're the first person I've seen mention it as an annoyance @georgedunn 

I'll pass your comments on to the project team.

In the lounge it is not a problem but in the bedroom? - it glows sometimes just an acceptable light but during the night it can change to more like a lantern. Why have the ability to remove the coloured light from the white box but not the TV Mini Box. Maybe I am the first to complain on this platform but I know that I am not the first to complain about the problem. Even the engineers comment about it!
