I let it sit overnight doing nothing, but it's still hot as hell in the morning, which means it's not really putting itself to sleep. as this thing is designed to be on all the time, with no hardware or software power switch, the power draw could be a problem.
Or is it just my one that's defective?

So no one has been able to measure the power consumption yet? I'm curious how efficient this is. Couldn't find anything on Google.

5.5 mm DC[3] (6.25 V 2.5 A power adapter[4])
So, almost 16 watts max consumption

Yeah, I noticed that earlier. I'm interested in the actual power consumption in various scenarios (streaming, idle, standby). I have a couple of Raspi's which use so little electricity that I just leave them on 24/7 even when I don't use them sometimes for a week or two. They use like 3 watts idle. I also used to have a Boxee Box which never had a proper standby and always used like 16 watts. That bugged me.
