"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!"

+grain of salt.
Others with contacts within DirecTV have stated that the handover from Boeing to D* is imminent and that there's nothing wrong with the bird. D*'s original move date was the 12th, so we're still "on schedule"...the original schedule.
