I received a Watt meter at a meeting and I hooked up my complete AV system to see how much power it uses (32" Samsung LCD, DirecTV and Onkyo sound system, Wi-Fi internet adapter = 230W). I was surprised when I switched everything off that I was still using 40W. I then unplugged everything except the DirecTV box and it showed that the DirecTV box draws 32W whether it is "on" (blue power light is lit) or "off" (all lights are off).

I was hoping that the DirecTV box would go into a 'stand by' or 'low power' mode like the rest of my equipment.

Thanks
