<p>A method for operating an apparatus, such as a video signal receiver, having first and second stand-by modes when the apparatus is in an off state, wherein the first stand-by mode provides a different start-up time and consumes a different amount of power than the second stand-by mode, is capable of saving power without requiring a user to wait a long time for a start-up sequence. According to an exemplary embodiment, the method includes enabling display of a user interface allowing user selections for a plurality of different time periods of a day; and enabling a user to select, via the user interface, one of at least three different options for each one of the different time periods, wherein a first one of the options includes setting the apparatus to the first stand-by mode for the time period, a second one of the options includes setting the apparatus to the second stand-by mode for the time period, and a third one of the options includes setting the apparatus to a statistical mode for the time period, wherein the statistical mode includes setting the apparatus to one of the first and second stand-by modes for the time period based on a user's past viewing habits during the time period.</p> |
