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!"
I have both. I started off with TIVO and I love it. Then came HD. That's when the cable DVR worked it's way in the home. It just seems easier than trying to make tivo work.
That and even if you get cable cards you still can't quite get everything. But I do miss the tivo interface and user controls. Maybe if Tivo still did lifetime I would pony up for a new HD Tivo.
I wonder how future proof a TIVO is with cable changing/undecided how they bring in hd. That is one upside to the cable dvr, it will work. If the TIVO box works as well with HD cable as it did SD cable I would switch. I just don't think it's their yet, so I suffer with the cable dvr.
TiVo started offering lifetime again a while back.
