Standby consumption redefined

[Robin]

My "digibox" i.e. "Bush DFTA11 Freeview set-top digital terrestrial
receiver" says this under "technical specifications":

....
Power consumption Maximum 8W, Standby 7W
....
I looked it up because it remains hot in standby mode so it's not a
printing error.

You see what these little-tittle-boy-scientists fresh out of college
are up to? They don't care about the planet either.

Seems you do not care for the planet either, if you cared for the planet you
would stop using all technology that used electrical power and you lived in
some cave.

No I don't care, that's what the "either" means.

I am pretty pissed about my electricity bill though.

It provides power to run the device AND free heat in winter.

HP had a printer that used slightly _more_ power when off than when on
(and not printing).

My guess from the numbers is that the power LED was shorted out when "off".
