Re: [vdr] Device power saving feature - power measurements

I'm happy with just a modest power saving.

Put in context, on my system, 3Wh ~ 25 mins SD content transcoding to H264/AAC = 30-40% disk space reduction with no noticeable loss of quality. So ~70Wh saving / day pays for ongoing SD recording compression and multi-TB historical library compression in about 3 months. I free up a 1TB or so of RAID :-)

Thanks Richard

Hi Richard,

Unlike DVB-S/S2 tuners your DVB-T/T2 ones don't have to supply power to a LNB (which draws at least 2W). So, your 3W drop can be considered as "normal". For your USB stick even 1W saving can be helpful.

Thanks again for testing.
