Re: Question about STB on & tuned to channel but TV off quote:
I wonder if its possible to 'sense' if TV is actually in use (i.e. different voltage/resistance/current level) and adjust accordingly.
Eg. If the TV is off, the STB 'should' be smart enough to know that the TV isn't in use, and power off itself, and save bandwidth.
The U-Verse receiver itself times out and shuts off if there's no activity for 6 hours (much to the ire of people trying to use it with a TiVo DVR). I have my universal remote programmed to turn the DVR off when I power off.
