To me as I walk by a house at 2AM...nude of course is Hey....looks like they own a tv...might be a good place to break into!]]>May 21st 2008 1:44PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/21/faketv-emulates-human-watching-the-tube-supposedly-discourages/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/21/faketv-emulates-human-watching-the-tube-supposedly-discourages/May 21st 2008 2:07PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/21/faketv-emulates-human-watching-the-tube-supposedly-discourages/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/21/faketv-emulates-human-watching-the-tube-supposedly-discourages/May 21st 2008 3:31PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/21/faketv-emulates-human-watching-the-tube-supposedly-discourages/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/21/faketv-emulates-human-watching-the-tube-supposedly-discourages/May 21st 2008 5:43PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/21/faketv-emulates-human-watching-the-tube-supposedly-discourages/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/21/faketv-emulates-human-watching-the-tube-supposedly-discourages/May 21st 2008 5:58PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/21/faketv-emulates-human-watching-the-tube-supposedly-discourages/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/05/21/faketv-emulates-human-watching-the-tube-supposedly-discourages/
So, lets say it costs $1.25 per week (on average). Assuming a week-long vacation, at 1 vacation per year, it would take 48 years for this thing to pay for itself in energy savings (assuming it costs $60, and its power consumption is negligible compared to a TV.) Two vacations a year and you cut that down to a mere 24 years!

That is all leaving aside the fact that you have this dumb THING that you would haul out once a year from the attic or wherever you put it after your last vacation (hopefully you can remember.)
