Yes TVs are another big change. I went from two old tube style that drew 300 watts each to two LCDs that draw around 150 watts each.

I kill the power to my computer and satellite receiver at night too. The Dish network satellite receiver will draw 50 watts even when on or off. It's a pig imho.

Most newer LED TV's in the 70"-75" class consume less than 100W.
