AT&T gets proud: 100% of U-verse TV STBs meet or beat Energy Star requirements

by Darren Murph posted Jan 25th 2009 at 12:16AM

It's hard to know how many other pay-TV providers could say this very same thing but are simply choosing not to brag, but AT&T's holding nothing back in its latest release. The operator has proudly come forward and proclaimed that 100 percent of its U-verse TV receivers meet or exceed Energy Star efficiency requirements, and all new Motorola and Cisco set-top-boxes will boast the accompanying Energy Star label. Not trying to stroke your ego or anything, AT&T, but way to be green.

Would be nice if the consumer could disable their auto shut off after 8 hours. ATT Thanks for forcing your green agenda on me.

Dear consumer,

Get off the couch and go outside for at least 10 minutes somewhere inbetween your 14 hour TV day.
