If you own a Sky Glass TV, there are loads of useful settings, including three that save energy.

Check yours now to ensure they’re switched on and you’re saving a bit too.

Auto-standby

Sky Glass features a motion sensor that helps with quite a few things like automatically switching on at certain times of the day.

But it can also be used to put your TV in standby whenever no motion is detected.

So if you accidentally leave it on or fall asleep, it’ll switch off for you.

Just to go to Settings, then Start up and standby.

Turn on Auto-standby when no motion detected.

Overnight power saving

Overnight power saving ensures your Sky Glass TV isn’t running anything non-essential during non-core hours.

This way less energy is used of course.

To ensure it’s on, go to Settings, then Start up and standby.

You should see the Overnight power saving option.

Sleep timer

Sleep timer lets you set a specific time for your Sky Glass TV to switch off.

This is useful if you want to fall asleep in front of the telly but don’t want it going on all night, for example.

To set it up, go to Settings, then Start up and standby.
