just wanted know few things about the box.

[Rexstar]

1) can vu duo2 transcode in deep standby?

2) can vu duo2 record in deep standby?

3) why does sky hd action and few other channels, when transcoding it give script sub audio instead of just movie audio? (is there something i can do in setting to fix this).

[Rob van der Does]

'Deep standby' is fully switched off, so the box can do nothing at all (and hence power consumption is around 0.5W).
The box will wake up for timers, so recordings will be made, and go to sleep again when done.
