I was preparing to build a MythTV box. Problem was, I have DirecTV, so I'd need two controllable satellite boxes to records two programs at once (to replace my current DirecTiVo.)
When I put the Kill-A-Watt on the DirecTiVo, I realized that it only draws something like 26 watts. I don't think there's a way I could replace that functionality with two set-top boxes and a PC in less than 26 watts, so I left it as-is.
However, I do have a 7200 RPM laptop drive. Maybe I could replace the 40GB drive in the TiVo unit and shave off a watt or two...
