Washington — The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) and the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) are promoting an effort to make set top boxes more energy efficient.

The organizations have teamed up to promote the efforts of 15 multichannel video service providers and affiliated equipment manufacturers that are getting behind a voluntary and pro-active Set-Top Box Energy Conservation Agreement (STBECA), expected to save as many as 90 million U.S. households a total of $1.5 billion or more in annual residential electricity savings.
