7 months agoAnother free way of doing this is to use the power meter outside your home.
- turn everything using power off
- verify by ensuring the power meter is no longer moving; no electricity consumed
- record current reading
- turn on tv for some period of time
- record new reading
Calculate usage as difference of the readings divided by how long you ran the tv for.
The savings on dumb token systems would cover so much. Nevermind the fact that bus drivers could concentrate on driving rather than vending.
