I have 4 TiVo minis used on the bedroom TVs which only get occasional use. From Kill-a-watt I see the minis consume about 10 watts (power usage doesn't vary much from when watching TV or not, putting in standby only reduced 1-2 watts). How is it possible for the Roamio Pro to do all it does on 22 watts but the mini which I believe is all solid state needs 10 watts? What inside the mini is consuming so much power (particularly when not streaming anything)?
I thought about putting a smart power strip on each mini to cut the power when not in use but found out that it takes about 5 minutes for the mini to boot up. A 5 minute boot on a simple streaming device seems a bit ridiculous, is there anyway to reduce this boot time short of leaving the power on?
It's not the end of the world but trying to be efficient and I find 350kwh per year for 4 minis used only occasionally to be high.
