In the summer I have to shell out $85–$95 for my 400 sq. ft. apt. with no AC. After reading about what an energy hog the cable box is (they can draw as much as a refrigerator), I've been unplugging it whenever I am going to be gone for a few hours.
Another reason to dump cable I guess, although this defeats the purpose of a DVR if you have one. I have taken to turning off power to the whole entertainment center when we go away for a couple days.
