Hi all,
Sorry - posted this previously on FreeSat forum by mistake..
Trying to reduce Electricity costs, I've been going around my house with my plug in power meter looking at power consumption of my different devices.
I've realised that my Humax doesn't seem to go into Standby . I've checked it at different times through the day, there is no front panel display, no scheduled recordings, but the unit is drawing 20 to 23 watts.
I've got power saving turned on so, I thought that after 3 hours of inactivity it would go down to use < 1w (which I've seen it do in the past).
Is it likely that the system is continuously performing tasks for some reason (I know it is set to decrypt recordings on the disk etc).
Interestingly, some times when it's using full power the WebIF isn't available on the intranet, and I can't connect via telnet...
Any tips on optimizing power usage?
Thanks...
