The Always-On Energy Vampires in Your Home

The Always-On Energy Vampires in Your Home

This week, we’ve got an investigation into the always-on vampires lurking in your home.

Actually, one vampire in particular: your DVR box.

The engineers over at Sense Labs recently started opening up and testing DVR boxes. They found that power-save mode doesn’t actually do anything — it only saves about a watt of energy.

Compared to smart televisions, gaming consoles or smart phones, the power-save mode of DVR boxes is abysmal. But the cable industry says that it’s the overall efficiency of devices that matters — and they’ve slashed total power consumption by half since 2012.

Should consumers expect more? In this episode, we investigate.
