Sky customers can make easy TV box change to save money on energy bills

Sky Q customers have been advised to take a look at their settings for an easy way to ensure they aren't needlessly adding money to their energy bills.

Some users may be unaware that the devices come equipped with an Eco mode for times when it isn't in use. This setting is recommended by Sky, as it means that your box will use less energy by going into low power mode between the hours of 2.30am and 5.45am.

It's easy to switch your box over to Eco mode - simply press Home on your Sky Q remote and select Settings, then Setup, then go into Preferences, followed by Standby Mode for the options. And you don't have to worry about any recordings you have planned overnight - the box won't go into Eco mode until any scheduled recordings are complete.
