Definitely not, kebosma. Your freezer probably uses quite a lot more. washing machines, even though they're not on constantly, use a little bit more as well. Even that 40W low-power lightbulb that you're using a couple of hours a day comes close. Plus: _Any_ device that has a standby-mode still uses power. Less than the Apple TV in most cases, but combined... Either way: If you care about power consumption, you'll turn things off completely, anyway, which for the Apple TV means you'll have to pull the plug, or give it a cable with a real switch.
