[linux-dvb] Re: Idea to save power (and also your money) with VDR

[Johannes Schoeller <schoeller@gmx.at>]

as far as i know (and i did install a power meter
between the wall plug and my computer), my pc
only needs about 3Watts when in "suspend to ram"
mode. in "normal standby" mode it consumes about
30Watts, which is by far too much, but i could
live with about 5-10Watts. :))
