Choice is well known for not conducting the most scientific research and leaping to conclusions. In this case, they've actually pointed out the obvious and then handed out some numbers based on wild assumptions.
Of course, the obvious is all that's needed in this case... Standby still uses power, and every bit adds up.

....with a configurable timer to switch into low power standby would be a real boon.
Those things always run warm so they must be getting through the juice.

Only the router stays switched on 24hrs the PVR and small mini stereo get special standby dispensation.
