Save energy: Turn off Cable box
This was based on my experience in having a cable box at home. I never thought that it would really suck out energy that much when i received the bill of my electricity.
Its the only thing that i leave on if i turn off the television or even go to sleep at night thinking that it won't really cost me a lot. To save energy and money, turn off your cable box when not in use, some people leave it on for some reason.
Since the box itself is a plan on your cable meaning it has a fix price every month, but that doesn't mean that you won't be spending on the electricity. Leaving it on means that you pay on the energy as well.
And another thing, don't leave your television and cable box on at the same time, believe me you will be surprise when you receive your bill.
Some bad habits in watching tv that would affect your expenses at home are falling asleep in front of the television. You will never know when you will wake up, as long as you are sleeping, your electricity is sucking way too much energy.
So make it a habit that when you feel slightly sleepy, just turn off the tv and cable box and go sleep in your bed.
Other things is that when you have a conversation with other people like on the phone or in person while the tv is turned on (when the tv is on meaning your cable box is turned on too).
If you are having conversation, then this means that you are not concentrating on what you are watching. So just turn it off for awhile until you are done talking. Some people just minimize the volume, so how about turning it off? This will save money, and of course save energy.
Watch out for your bad habits when watching television because this would affect on your bill when you receive it for like once a month. And of course turn off your cable box once your TV is off, the thing is that some people are just too lazy to turn off two things at the same time.
Having a cable box means you have two remotes from your tv and cable box. So just make it a habit, because this is not just for everyone, this is for you to save your money and energy.
