STV Set Top Boxes

The subscription television industry has created a voluntary code of conduct to improve the energy efficiency of conditional access set top boxes used across the industry.


The aim of the Code is to:

  • Voluntarily minimise the overall energy consumption (kWh) used by set top boxes without limiting or impeding functionality and user convenience
  • Set voluntary maximum energy consumption targets for set top boxes and associated testing procedures that endeavour to meet or exceed international best practise for equivalent equipment
  • Advise the public of the existence and benefits of the Code and the commitments of Signatories to the Code.
