Why has the amber LED on my X1 DVR been on recently while watching TV?

During the last few days when watching TV , the amber LED on my DVR comes on and stays on. Any ideas why?

It’s a Data light on the Samsung model. I believe it has to do with a connection to the router. This is new I’ve only noticed recently. Also speed was increased might have something to do with it.

The X1 equipment with a data light has nothing to do with internet equipment.

I did the opposite.  I turned on Power Saving, and the light went off.  I don't know if it's going to go on again in the morning.  We'll see.

Ever since Comcast has been doing work in my area, i.e., cable work of some sort. The Amber LED has been on my TV Box. Does this have something to do with the cable work being done outside?

This worked for me, too. Changing the brightness of Power LED fixed it. Thank you.

THIS WORKS but it comes back next day.
Settings>device settings>device lights>Here I changed the power lights to lower, and the orange light is off. Comes back though.

Sadly, it returned for me, but after modifying brightness, it goes away. I am sure it will come back again, but at least now I know how to get rid of it at least temporarily

This is not a permanent fix but if you are tired of looking at that amber light go to settings, device settings, device lights, power light brightness and select you don't have to change anything just exit and the lights go out until the next update if they would just add that sequence to their coding we wouldn't have to do that manually

Funny you mention the cable work being done because that’s when mine started also when they were working down the street ...😳

The data light on my box was red but thanks to your suggestion about changing the brightness back to zero and then reset to level one did the trick for now. That light has been annoying me for two weeks! Thank you so much for your helpful post.
