set top box takes too long to start up

We power off our television set and set top box when not watching. When powering it back on, the STB usually takes a long time to start up, sometimes for a few minutes, mostly because it is checking for updates. Is there a way to disable this update check?

Its not that it is checking for updates, its that after a power lose it has to do all sorts of things including a fsck (for DVR's) and download guide data. 

THE BOXES ARE NOT MEANT TO BE REMOVED FROM POWER.  Use they use a bunch of unnecessary power even when switched to "off"
