9 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.
