Is there a power-saving option for the receivers?
Is there a power-saving option for the receivers? When I had DirecTV, there was an option where I could turn on Power Saving and my receiver would turn off after 4 hours of non-use. It seems that this would be a good option for U-Verse receivers, also.

The att receivers will also turn "off". They are energy star rated. I just can't remember at the moment whether it's 4 or 8 hours.
Note, "off" here is a relative term here. While the power indicator button is not lit there a green link like showing the receiver/dvr is in a ready state. In the case of the dvr scheduled programs will still be recorded on its hard drive (and you see a red record light indicating that fact).

Thanks for your reply. I have noticed the green ready light, but did not know what it was for. I'm very happy to know that the receiver does turn "off" or goes into standby mode.

I just received U-verse coming from Xfinity and I can’t stand how the TV goes to a screen saver after about 4 hours, I CANT STAND IT, I NEED THE TV sound at night to sleep, it wakes me up every night when it goes off. I can’t figure how to get it turned off.

The screen saver cannot be disabled.
I've heard of a great invention that emits all sorts of sounds like music, talk, even white noise. I think it's called a radio.
