Mine is in a cabinet with a a bit of circulation (the front panel is
wire mesh). If I touch the transporter, it is very mildly warm. Not
even approaching what I would call even very warm much less hot. But
it's not simply cold (like some equipment that is truly off).
p.s. it's been in this s
Mine never gets hot. On the left side, it's barely warm in the winter
and gets a little warm in the summer. I suppose if it's in a closed
cabinet (particularly if there is no ventilation at all) it's going to
heat up more.
I have a PS3 that gets super hot (even when off) if I close my cabinet.
So
Thanks for the answers
That's seems logical to be a little hot then.
It's because the transporter in my house is in a quite completely closed
cabinet so I wouldn't want it to be inappropriately hot. Moreover, the
case has no apertures on the side, as far as I saw.
That's fine then,
Thanks !

Ok so maybe it doesn't use a Linux kernel, but it runs some software on
a CPU in the same way (except it's called firmware because you have to
flash it to a ROM chip!). The Touch and Radio both use a Linux kernel,
of that I'm sure.
Principle is the same - they use a few Watts and this translates

To answer the OP, yes, the Transporter is always "on", and uses a few
watts. Mine is always a bit warm, but it's an un-vented case design, so

I don't think any of them really go "off" in standby, it's a computer
running a Linux kernel, so power consumption will be essentially
identical when off as when on.

Hi all,
I recently bought a "new" (never used) transporter on eBay and I'm a
little bit surprised because it heats up a little bit in stand by mode.
I mean, it's not really hot, it's just a little bit warm, as my other
gears stay always cold when not in use. Is it usual ?
Thanks !

Those H20 boxes are known to get very hot, especially some of the

Thanks. Not to be pedantic... but I cant help myself :)
Heat moves in three ways: Radiation, conduction, and convection.
Meaning heat can "fl

The Transporter doesn't put out an appreciable amount of heat in idle.
Portions of the case will remain vaguely lukewarm I guess.
Heat is electronics' biggest enemy though, and smothering heat
radiation and convection is definitely something you should avoid doing
to a $2000 box.

I'm probably missing something, but why not just move the DirectTV box
and
Heat doesnt go down, it goes up, besides, an off unit shouldnt produce
much heat, like a television in standby I would assume.

How much heat should an "off" transporter give off?
My H20 directv box sits on the TP, the H20 is a small fusion plant and
I think the TP's aluminum frame is acting as a heat sink for the H20.
