Summary/Abstract: New TVs that already have access to the Internet also use the new functionality that this connection allows. These include HbbTv, video on demand (Netflix), YouTube or simple games. Time spent in this way on TV is steadily increasing, in some homes it has long prevailed or dominated. There are a number of reasons for this, ranging from a wide range of unfiltered offerings to the widest demand, to tailoring the TV program to the mood and individuality of the viewer, for example to free organization of your own time spent in entertainment. However, such use of TVs is also reflected in the amount of electricity consumed, which may not be negligible. This article examines the impact of different uses of TV on electricity consumption.
