Default The Stand- By demon

Couldn't you borrow a metering dingy (from your electricity supplier) and
measure how much the stand-by is using? And at the same time measure other
appliances as well? I borrowed one to measure what an old freezer was
using: I ascertained, as I'd expected, that the monster was using over 700
kW a year.
