I read an article a few months ago where the countries in the EU is taking steps to power down set top boxes when they aren't being used. The article acknowledged this excessive power use and the cost involved. Unfortunately this is not just a VZ issue as all of the cable companies in the US are guilty of giving their customers power hungray set top boxes!  Smiley Mad

Yes everything electrical could probably be more efficient.
Just not worth the hassle.

Not worth the hassle for Verizon to spend a million to pay CISCO to write a small program to the STB to save a $ Billion / year in Electricty?

I think Verizon lacks the leadership to make a green statement.

They are just a big fat utility and could care less about saving our planet.
