I have bought a time capsule which is fits close to my TV and HIFI but I realized it gets really hot, would I have a similar problem with Airport Extreme or is power consomption lower ?

The TC has a maximum power consumption of 34 watts; the AEBSn uses around 22 watts. Both will run "hot" as they employ large heat sinks just under the top surface to dissapate heat. It is important to allow for enough area around either base station to allow for an adequate exchange of heat from the device to the surrounding air.
