"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 live in Fargo, and I USED to have CableOne. I say USED to have them because they are without a doubt, the WORST cable company in America. Basically this is how their "HD service" has worked out over the last 3 years....
They used to have all the locals in HD (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX) as well as a FEW others (ESPN, ESPN2, TBS, TNT). That's it. 8 total HD channels (4 of them being locals!) Then, they decided to drop TNT from their HD lineup. That dropped it to 7! Then in January of this year, they dropped ABC and NBC, because of some squabble they had with Hoak media. That left people with 5 friggen HD channels. FIVE. A few months back though, they did add TNT again, and now they added the 2 locals again.
I'm glad I got out of there in September 2007 and switched to Dish Network. I pay basically what I was paying with Cableone, but I get about 50 more HD channels. Plenty of my friends are dumping CableOne as well, and switching to satellite. It's a shame that CableOne is the only cable company in Fargo. Fargo would GLADLY welcome Comcast or TWC.
