Every month when we receive our electricity bill, we always sigh: “Why is the price increasing? I clearly use a lot of electricity!”.
In fact, there is an “electricity thief” at home. It secretly eats up our electricity all day long, causing our electricity bill to increase. This is the TV set-top box that we use every day!

You may find it hard to believe, how can a small set-top box (STB - Television signal decoder) consume more electricity than an air conditioner?

In fact, this is because the set-top box has a big hidden danger, which is a very high standby power source.

In other words, when we turn off the TV with the remote control, the set-top box is not actually turned off but in standby mode and still consumes electricity.

Moreover, the power consumption of the set-top box in standby mode and normal operation is almost the same, which means that if we do not turn off the switch on the set-top box after watching TV every day, it is equivalent to it being on all the time.

The solution to this problem is very simple, you just need to turn off the switch on the TV set-top box, or buy a socket with a switch.

When we do not use household appliances, just turn off the power switch.

This way, the power supply to the set-top box can be completely cut off, thereby saving a lot on the electricity bill.
