Sigh.... Like I said, we measured these machines with a strip chart recording ammeter (with a technician from CSA observing the tests). http://www.amprobe.com/cgi-bin/pdc/viewprod.cgi?pid=233&tid=1&type=elec There is no use speculating and hypothesizing when I have strip charts to prove it. If the "real consumption" is not visible to the amprobe its not visible to the power company meter either. -- ______Jsa_________ _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
