The Zenith/Insignia also have a channel UP/Down button.
The Dish DTVPal doesn't have any buttons, and most cheaper ones either have none as well or only have a power button. it's so 'blended in' though that no one even notices it.
The power down is enabled by the factory so most are surprised when it powers down without warning (not even a 'The box is powering down due to inactivity' warning) and most assume it went bad. they're Energy Star compliant but without the logo on the front among the others most don't even know that. most Energy Star stuff powers off after a preset by the factory, or as in appliances, their functions limited to 'save energy' (such as the roof air in my home, it doesn't put out as well as one from the late '60s)
