To be fair to Panasonic, power consumption when "Quick Start" is activated is 4W, compared to 0.2W when Quick Start and loopthrough are both turned off.
Youview's two standby modes are confusingly named.
"Eco low", which might giver users the impression of low energy consumption, actually means the opposite: low energy savings. In fact, there's not much difference from energy consumption when the box is full on.
"Eco high" is high energy savings - virtually off.
On: 20W
Low eco: 15W
High eco: .5W
The YouView boxes I used took considerably longer to start up from full standby than does my HB1000S, but then, it does partly depend on what you define as start up. When the Home Page appears on the HB1000S, On Demand is still loading, and not available.
