How many power outlets are behind the TV?

I happened to come across this list yesterday

But these are all values for old devices. At the latest with the next device replacement, and that is happening faster these days, only 0.5 watts (standby) or 1.0 watt (standby with extended functions) are allowed anyway.

We are quite strict about standby and – say what you want – have a very low power consumption... of course, I know that this is not really a proper argument. However, I don't see it as such a bad thing to be actively reminded of what you are about to do (watch TV) and then maybe, through this extra step, prefer to stay on the couch and read the book instead.

Do me a favor, follow the tips that are given to you. Measure the consumption of the devices and don’t just believe everything. The best example is VW; just because something works on the test bench doesn’t mean it has to be the same in real operation.

And certain devices simply aren’t exchanged. The good old receiver of the stereo system, for example, or the old USB chargers you have lying around, but which are always plugged into the socket.

at the latest with the next device replacement, and that is happening faster nowadays anyway, only 0.5 watts (standby) or 1.0 watt (standby with extended functions) are allowed.

And then the devices have LAN or WLAN with WOL, which can optionally be activated, but then some do it anyway and the 1W limit is exceeded again.

wanted to dig up this thread again because I currently have to determine the number for our new building. Are there any new experiences here? I want to hang my TV on a wooden wall.

We have just had the electrical rough-in installation done. Our setup on the TV wall consists of 2x triple sockets and a double LAN socket, nothing more.

In my opinion, that is completely sufficient for anyone who has a normal media consumption behavior aside from 3 consoles and a high-end hi-fi rack.

To list it out;
- TV or projector as a smart TV including DVB-S
- Telephone
- DSL router
- The rest for Alexa and co.

If consoles, Apple TV, Sky, and hi-fi are to be added, then 10 sockets make sense if you don’t want all devices plugged into a power strip.

But honestly, in the current apartment everything is connected to one triple socket + a power strip. You don’t die from that as long as you can hide it.
