Or were you thinking of the power used in the local distribution box
that (remotely) handles sending the signals to your TV?
I had figured he was talking about the settop boxes and DVRs which
are running Windows. Probably on 7/24 like Comcast DVR and Tivo.
Which brings up a question, does anyone have MythTV setup to sleep
when not recording? It would make sense to have a DVR sleep when
there's nothing due to record and expected no-use periods are set.
MythTV especially frontends since I've moved my backend to a test
server and will be updating my raid box to include the MythTV
backend and ZoneMinder security system so sleeping is not an option
there.
Our Dish DVRs turn off even when recording (OK, I know that it's not
totally off when recording, but I'm sure only the electronics that's
needed for recording is powered on). I assumed all such devices would do
something similar (and to me it's silly for them not to).
