Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"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!"
Mike,
I will leave you with two complaints about the SA8300.
If a show is recording and you want to start watching it from the beginning, you can't; you have to RWD to the begging from the current position.
If you are still watching that show when it finishes recording it kicks you out back to live TV and you are forced to FWD all the way back to the point where you were.
This is only 2 of about 20 complaints I have, neither of which I would call a "feature", it is simply bad software.
I am sorry if you are offended, but to me the SA8300 is a perfect example of a device with bad software. I understand why people use them, for the reasons Matt gave during the show, but that doesn't mean it is a good device.
Enjoy your SA8300 and remember that sometimes ignorance truly is bliss and I do not mean that in an derogatory manor what so ever.
Thanks for your comments.
