Kinda quiet on the forum these past few days so I thought I'd try something out, who's knows might even be useful information for somebody!
I have a device that is used for measuring the power consumption of electrical items and decided to give it on go on my Elite and Premium.
It reads to 1 decimal place but I have rounded the figured as the readings fluctuate in that range.
Both boxes were tested via HDMI to the same TV.
Premium
Fitted with a 300GB HDD and Timeshift set to ON, WiFi enabled
ON watching a SD channel: 28 Watts
ON watching a HD channel: 29 Watts
Standby: 12 Watts (but is 18 Watts for a minute or so until HDD powers down)
Off (with switch at back): 0.2 Watts
Elite
Connected via Ethernet cable, NO external HDD, NO Timeshift
ON watching SD/HD channel: 19 Watts
Standby: 9 Watts
Off (with switch at back): 0.0 Watts
I would speculate the difference in the Premium between SD and HD channels is to do with the extra work the HDD is doing.
