Yes. The current draw of the miracle 5th generation chips, when the mantra
at the last Zenith/LG 8-VSB seminar I attended was "it's only silicon."
Apparently running a set top Cray to combat multipath has energy use
consequences.
I find it more than a bit hypocritical of California to presume to regulate
the power usage of ATSC set top boxes yet remain mute on the power
consumption differences between a CRT and a Plasma display.
