Does anyone know how much electricity will be saved after is complete? Looking at alone, it looks like ~4 Megawatts less of electricity will be used now everything is digital only.

This must amount to a huge saving, (cost and ) for the nation?

Dave Lindsay: Fair comment about the set-top boxes. I hadn't considered that. Although I have to say, my new flat-screen TV is saving me roughly £50 a year in electricity compared to my old flat-screen and it's 10 inches bigger than the old one, so if has prompted some households to update their equipment, that might be a good thing.

So the only clear winners when it comes to electricity consumption are the BBC/Arqiva and potentially at our expense!
