...unless your receiver has a rocker on/off switch (such as my AZBox), you must unplug the receiver to kill the power completely (such as my Amiko), as standby/off does not ensure all power to the LNB is off.
This is true for my Edision. For this reason, I have disconnected the coaxial cable in my house (with power on) rather than powering down the Edision in order to cut power to a diseqc switch. But I wouldn't recommend doing it that way. Do what I say, not what I do. But nowadays I have no diseqc switches in line anymore.

From memory, I think my GT Media V9 and V7S5X receivers do cut power to the LNB once you power the units down, even without switching off the LNB voltage in their menu options.
