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!"
If you're really on your forth HD Tivo, I would start to believe there is some sort of power irregularity going on. I don't know anyone who has had any real issues with these, and they've been out for quite some time. Tivo Community forums doesn't have much in the way of problems you're describing, either.
I suppose you could be the unluckiest person on the planet, but I'd kind of doubt that.
