Here in the Power Saving menu, you can arrow down to turn off Power Saving. Then, Arrow down so “Settings” is highlighted.Īrrow right until “Power Saving” is highlighted. Step by StepĪrrow left so “What’s On Now” is highlighted. That’s why you want to know how to turn it off. What if you just want the TV on in the background all day? What if you’re having a party and want to play music or show sports? You could definitely have the TV going for over 4 hours and it would be embarrassing if it turned off by itself. Power Saving mode is perfect for those instances. Sometimes people like to fall asleep in front of the TV, or they walk away and leave the TV on. It doesn’t actually have a really big impact on the power usage of the DIRECTV box, but without video the TV will usually turn off and that will save you power. This mode turns off the video output after 4 hours if you haven’t pressed a button on the remote that whole time. Power saving mode is on by default on DIRECTV DVRs and clients. This is really DIRECTV’s first change to its menu system since 2011 and I think the old menus were really beginning to look dated. They’re cleaner looking and put commonly used functions right up front where you want them. Personally, I find a lot to like about them. Have you ever felt like someone came into your home, rearranged the furniture, and left? I don’t blame you if you feel that way about DIRECTV’s new Genie menus.
