[QUOTE="funkstar, post: 269257, member: 14311"] Here is a good test: Put your PC into sleep or suspend mode and see how the power consumption of those tuners changes. I would guess that because they use external power bricks, the consumption will not change very much if at all. Depending on what voltage the tuners are looking for, you could wire up connectors from your PCs PSU to power them as opposed to using the supplied power bricks. This will at least make them more efficient, as you would be getting wasted electricity being converted to heat from the power bricks. [/QUOTE]
