[vdr] Re: Power consumption of Hauppauge cards

[Stefaan Coddé <stefaan.codde@pandora.be>]

An easy way, not too expensive and an acceptable accuracy
is by usuing a socket watt tester, they are very cheap and ment to
measure the power consumption
of home electric devices.

Unplug the hauppauge card.
Start the computer, do not run anything and see how much power the
computer draws.
Shut down and insert the hauppauge card and start the computer again.
Power consumption will rise, then start the application so LNB has to be
attached.


You have two values now : one without hauppauge, one with active
hauppauge card.
There ya go.

If you can wait till tomorrow, then I'll give you the result of my
setup.
VIA epia M9000 and hauppauge DVB-s version 1.3, just universal LNB
attached.

I need an idea of the power consumption to work out what PSU I'll need
to provide.

I don't need to drive a dish motor, just a universal LNB (or a UHF
antenna in the case of DVB-T ;-)

Best regards,
