https://www.taxtmi.com/news?id=3857 Cable STBs typically consume about 8 watts in active mode and less in standby, a lower level than a CFL. Manufacturer data for multiple models show most STBs cluster around this consumption. Comparative household device figures indicate TVs, fans and tube lights each use substantially more power, so an STB uses roughly one fifth of a unit per day (about 5-6 units monthly), a nominal addition relative to other appliances. Standby mode reduces consumption further; digitisation benefits are available at this low electricity cost. en-us Mon, 08 Oct 2012 17:06:29 +0530 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 17:06:29 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/news?id=3857 Cable STBs typically consume about 8 watts in active mode and less in standby, a lower level than a CFL.
