Various actions are being taken to encourage the reduction of energy consumption for digital TV equipment as far as possible:

• consumer information from Digital UK and Government is highlighting the “Energy Saving Recommended” logo, and its use on digital TVs and set-top boxes with relatively low levels of energy consumption;
• manufacturers are being encouraged to reduce both the "on" and the stand-by power consumption of household appliances through the adoption of design improvements, voluntary codes of conduct, and best practice guidelines and targets;

Government is committed to using its own purchasing power to bring forward more sustainable products.
