A television receiver comprising: an input module configured to receive presentation content from a content source ; an output interface module communicatively coupled to the input module configured to output the presentation content for presentation by a presentation device; a data collection module configured to aggregate usage data regarding the television receiver during multiple user sessions; and a power management module coupled to the output interface module and the data collection module configured to evaluate the usage data in association with present operating parameters of the television receiver to determine whether to automatically command the output interface module to enter a low power mode state; characterised in that : the present operating parameters include the present programming being output and the present time, and the power management module is configured to evaluate the usage data, the present programming being output and the present time to determine when to command the output interface module to enter the low power mode state; the power management module is configured to determine a time to enter low power mode, when it determines that a first program is being output to the user at a particular time of day, if, during the multiple user sessions, the television receiver repeatedly output the first program to the user at the same time of day and the user powered-off the television receiver at user specified times, the time to enter low power mode being determined based on the times that the user powered-off the television receiver; and the power management module is configured to determine a different time to enter low power mode when it determines that a second program, different to the first program, is being output to the user at the particular time of day. an input module configured to receive presentation content from a content source ; an output interface module communicatively coupled to the input module configured to output the presentation content for presentation by a presentation device; a data collection module configured to aggregate usage data regarding the television receiver during multiple user sessions; and a power management module coupled to the output interface module and the data collection module configured to evaluate the usage data in association with present operating parameters of the television receiver to determine whether to automatically command the output interface module to enter a low power mode state; the present operating parameters include the present programming being output and the present time, and the power management module is configured to evaluate the usage data, the present programming being output and the present time to determine when to command the output interface module to enter the low power mode state; the power management module is configured to determine a time to enter low power mode, when it determines that a first program is being output to the user at a particular time of day, if, during the multiple user sessions, the television receiver repeatedly output the first program to the user at the same time of day and the user powered-off the television receiver at user specified times, the time to enter low power mode being determined based on the times that the user powered-off the television receiver; and the power management module is configured to determine a different time to enter low power mode when it determines that a second program, different to the first program, is being output to the user at the particular time of day. <EOS>
