Time Warner Cable, like most cable companies, distributes cable boxes to their customers to allow for the viewing of digital cable programs. Like televisions, these cable boxes allow a sleep timer to be programmed so the device will turn itself off after a certain period of time. If you wish to program your cable box in this manner, you can do so easily.
Step 1
