When you see the ENERGY STAR label on your set-top box, it means that your set-top box is ENERGY STAR qualified, giving you the benefit of saving energy and helping our environment.

However, ENERGY STAR labeled HD DVR set-top boxes qualify for ENERGY STAR only when configured with the DIRECTV Whole-Home DVR service. All other ENERGY STAR labeled set-top boxes, when used in conjunction with a DIRECTV subscription, meet ENERGY STAR criteria without requiring the consumer to take any additional steps.
