"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!"
In HD on DirecTV, they are marvelous. The difference in PQ is negligible. This is true, as well, for the other 100 channels. Local channels in HD are garbage. Lots of picture pixels and sound dropouts. Still a better deal than Comcast overall, but pay attention to the bill. Sometimes they don't award all rebates due, and you have to call and really rattle their chains.
