Does DAB radio have a higher drain on the battery than AM/FM stations if the engine isn't running? I know DAB eats batteries in household radio's.

Same question about watching TV on a DD without the engine running.

If you were parked up (engine off) for 1-2 hours while listening to DAB or watching TV would it flatten a healthy battery?I would have no fear of listening to AM/FM radio for a similar period with engine off.
