Abstract

A broadcast data receiver (BDR) or set top box is provided for receiving digital data from a broadcaster at a remote location and processing said data to provide video, audio and/or auxiliary data for display on a display screen and/or for listening to via speakers forming part of or connected to the BDR. Timer means in the form of a real time clock (RTC) is provided in the BDR such that at one or more pre-determined time intervals, the RTC changes the operational status of the BDR. The status change may be ON/OFF* or OFF/ON* (* or standby) and so may save power when a user has forgotten to switch it off. The timings may be set on an electronic programme guide (EPG).
