Sky Q Box Owners Advised to Activate Energy-Saving Mode This Month
# Every Sky Q Box Owner Should Review This Money-Saving TV Setting This Month
## Check Your Energy Mode to Cut Costs
Sky Q box users are urged to examine the eco-settings available on their devices to potentially decrease their energy costs. This is especially pertinent during this month when many are looking for ways to save on their electricity bills.
Activating the energy-saving mode allows the Sky Q box to enter a low-power state during specific hours, specifically between 2:30 AM and 5:45 AM. According to Sky, "This is the recommended setting as the box consumes less energy by going into low power mode between 2:30 AM and 5:45 AM. It won't go into this mode until any scheduled recordings are complete." By making this adjustment, users can benefit from a notable reduction in energy consumption without hindering their viewing experience.
Homeowners should also be aware of similar energy-saving capabilities offered by other devices. For instance, Samsung recommends that those looking to minimize electricity use pay attention to the "Power and Energy Saving Features of your Samsung Smart TV." Being proactive in managing these settings can lead to significant savings over time.
Moreover, BT has highlighted the importance of maintaining a stable internet connection to avoid unnecessary reductions in broadband speed. Their statement indicates that "constantly switching off the hub makes the line look unstable, meaning that your speed may be automatically reduced to improve the reliability of your broadband connection." By ensuring devices are appropriately set up, users can maximize both performance and energy efficiency.
