Thanks for the info on CPU use etc.

FYI I'm using the powersaving patch on a system with an Astrometa USB 
stick + an old Winfast PCI receiver, and I see 2-3W reduction when the 
Astrometa frontend is shut down:

Nov 27 20:13:09 ha-server vdr[7196]: [7196] frontend 1/0 provides DVB-T,DVB-T2,DVB-C with QPSK,QAM16,QAM32,QAM64,QAM128,QAM256 ("Sony CXD2837ER DVB-T/T2/C demodulator")

Nov 27 20:49:08 ha-server vdr[12959]: [12959] dvb tuner: power-down - closing frontend 1/0

But I'm still running V2.20 and have a workaround for the 2 frontends on 
the Astometa - both for reasons mentioned before on this list.
