Spectrum (Charter) Digital Receiver Energy Information

This site provides information about the energy efficiency of digital receivers (DRs) that have been purchased by Spectrum (Charter) since January 1, 2014.  This site will be updated as Spectrum (Charter) adds new devices to its inventory.  Note that DRs deployed by cable operators are specific to such cable operator’s particular network, system configuration, headend, and software; contact Spectrum (Charter)  to determine the DRs available for service in your location.  Some listed models may no longer be available and/or may not be available in all areas.  The power measurements herein represent the DRs generally configured as they are deployed in the cable operators’ networks, running the operators’ software, and measured in accordance with the test procedures as specified in the Voluntary Agreement.  The energy use of an individual STB may vary.
