Electricity leech: cable set-top box
We have a cable set-top box used to receive digital TV.
When it’s “off” it consumes 17 Watts. We waited for hours to see if the wattage would eventually come down, but it did not.
I’m curious to find out if newer models are better. Ours is a first generation box: no HDTV, no hard-drive.
When it’s on, it consumes 18 Watts.
