"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
I've had Comcast's Moto DVR for over a year now, I believe. The box had a few issues in the early days, but nothing to bad. Over the last two months or so, that has really changed. The box has turned to complete crap. Freezes for minutes at a time, won't decode channels, sound cuts out - all kind of things that require the power cord being yanked about every three days or so.
I'm this || close to trying out DirecTivo. My wife is ready to take a hammer to the thing, and friends that we recommended the Comcast box to are tired of it. Fortunately with spring right around the corner, I won't be catching much TV so I can be patient with them. If there's no new box by mid-summer, I'm out of Comcast.
