The percentage of electronics at the end of their lives which were recycled.
The EPA found that the percentage remained consistent from 1999-2005. Even as recycling rates went up, the amount of electronics reaching end of life outpaced the increase, leaving the figure static. (source: EPA, July 2008)

It's a great little feature they added, but I believe it's only on the sports channels. So non sports channels that have games on them (like locals, TNT, TBS, etc.) don't give the ScoreGuide tool as an option. I wish it was on every channel for easy access, not just the sports channels. But still, a pretty cool feature they added.
The SCOREGUIDE will come up on any sports channel, and it will tune TO a game on TBS, TNT, etc. just fine if the game is on a "non sports" channel.
Agrees with Zach. It's only on sports channels, so that's some what of a disappointment. I guess I need to play with it for a while, because I haven't seen all of the options discussed on in the article.
I am really using this feature a lot. Read about it a week ago on Directv's Twitter page. Perfect for keeping track of the baseball scores while watching playoff hockey.
Love it! Keep up the good work DirecTV!
Noticed it during the NBA playoffs over the weekend. Not a bad little feature. Just wish the other channels were feeding scores (TNT, TBS).
The feature is fine; but really ugly. The look-and-feel should be similar format as their on-screen Guide and it would be good; now it's just average at best.
I personally think its a great tool. At first I wasn't sure if it was just a gadget but I find myself clicking the little red button more and more.
Worked fine for me all week on TNT (NBA) and TBS (baseball) so I would try again (or maybe you were looking when there wasn't a game on those channels after all).
The problem with Scoreguide is that it blocks Closed Caption. I have not been able to turn OFF Scoreguide so that I can see the Closed Captions being transmited. I HATE IT!
