Wow, my first thought was "why bother". The thing can't *possibly* use enough power to even worry about. A large discount taken off a couple pennies is still a inconsequential amount. Probably better

I just checked my Schumacher Battery Companion (which has been connected to a 6-bolt battery for several days) to a watt-meter, and it measured ZERO watts. It's probably safe to say it uses one watt

So neither the box nor the battery feel the least bit warm ? Don't have a watt-meter, but my cable box also sucks power all the time (as shown by the box staying quite warm even when not in use). I

I also have the peak - off peak rates. Twelve overnight hours a day at 4 cents a kw and 12 hours at 16-17 cents a kw. So you really look at keeping everything off that you can during the peak time. P

Makes me wonder what kind of power my DirecTV Tivo DVR uses as well. Anyone I'll have Verizon FiOS HD TV in a couple weeks myself... The only downside to switching off a DVR when you're not watching

It's not at all warm. It must have a well-made efficient transformer in it. And the little green light is glowing, so it's getting power. When I connected it to the battery, the orange light glowed f

You're probably thinking of the Fios ONT (optical network terminal) box. That is a constant power drain, too, but at least it services the telephone and the internet as well as the TV. BTW, I am very

I don't know about a DirecTV DVR , but my original "14 hour" Tivo is always "on" because it's always recording one of the following three, 24/7: 1) something that I've told it to record 2) a Tivo sug

I put ours in Standby whenever we're not using it. The HDD spins down, and whatever is being recorded constantly as yo put it, will stop recording. We've had the Tivo for over 3 years now, but now it

I look after it not because it is extra cost per kilowatt hour, my rate (almost free) stays the same throughout the day. It is the stiff penalty for every kilowatt over the limit I run, even if I onl
